Imam's family originates from both Syria and Lithuania, and this mix, while growing up in Sweden, makes the fundament for her music, Imam told SVT.se: “It is about being an outsider as a woman, being an immigrant, lesbian, and to grow up listening to both Nas, Fairuz and Håkan Hellström - I'm a fusion of all that”.

Silvana Imam has a new album “Naturkraft” coming out March 25th 2016, and this summer Oslo Pride is proud to present her at our main stage in Pride Park Friday June 24th.
