Aziz Maraka & Shamma Hamdan Surprise Fans With an Unexpected Collab at XPERFORM 2025
The stage hasn’t even officially lit up yet, but XPERFORM 2025 is already giving fans moments to remember — and this one came straight from a car garage!
The Link-Up:
Jordanian singer-songwriter Aziz Maraka surprised everyone when he linked up with Omani singer Shamma Hamdan during an impromptu shoot ahead of this year’s highly anticipated music competition. Instead of the spotlight of a massive stage, the two artists turned an ordinary garage into a pop-up music video set, jamming out with fellow performers Rawan Al Fassi, Dafencii, and Ed Fensel.
What Went Down:
Videos from the set show Aziz watching from the sidelines before jumping in to sing along, creating a wholesome cross-border collab that fans didn’t see coming. The clip is already making waves among XPERFORM followers, who love seeing artists from across the region connect so organically.
The Venue
XPERFORM 2025 officially kicked off this week at Beast House in Saudi Arabia. The launch event brought together judges, emerging talent, and a buzzing crowd ready for a fresh wave of Arab music talent.
