BEDOUINE
Bedouine
Bedouine is the solo project of Azniv Korkejian, a Los Angeles-based Armenian-Syrian musician, songwriter, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist. Born in Aleppo and raised in Saudi Arabia before settling in Los Angeles, she adopted the name Bedouine — meaning nomad — to reflect a life of constant movement and cultural in-betweenness. Her self-titled debut (2017, Spacebomb) was praised by NPR, Pitchfork, and The New Yorker for its timeless folk pop sensibility, followed by Bird Songs of a Killjoy (2019) and Waysides (2021). Her new album Neon Summer Skin, released June 2026 on Thirty Tigers, is her most orchestrated work to date — featuring piano, synthesizers, trumpet, trombone, and her signature intricate guitar playing — and was written after visiting family in Saudi Arabia. Bedouine has collaborated on stage and in the studio with Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Hand Habits, and producer Gus Seyffert (Beck, Norah Jones). With over 20 million streams on her top track 'One of These Days' and 389K monthly Spotify listeners, Bedouine occupies a rare position: a deeply literary songwriter with growing commercial reach and a loyal global fanbase.
