She has always had a passion for music, but in an environment where such a thing is taboo, she had limited access to musical equipment, live performances, records, and music in general. However, she did not give up; she bought her first piece of equipment online and started playing music in her bedroom. A few years later, she began to develop her sound, conquering the scenes of Bahrain, Libya, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cosmicat | Boiler Room Bahrain\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fls7n5Wn1Yc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This was followed by a performance at the <strong>Soundstorm<\/strong> festival, where she shared the stage with big names such as <strong>Peggy Gou, Jamie Jones, Solomun, R3HAB, Steve Aoki <\/strong>and<strong> Martin Garrix<\/strong>. Her electronic sound is influenced by pop, disco, hip hop, and R&amp;B, along with grooves and samples from the 90s and early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>The EXIT Festival is honoured that the Petrovaradin Fortress in Serbia will be where Cosmicat will have her first performance outside the Middle East, presenting her music to a global audience.
