Bio

Meriem Ben Amor is a Tunisian-Canadian singer-songwriter and three-time JUNO Award nominee, known for her warm, ethereal voice and versatile musical abilities. Fluent in Arabic, French, Spanish, and English, she also has a deep understanding of diverse cultural influences, allowing her to perform in additional languages such as Romani, Ladino, Azeri, Farsi, and Romanian. In addition to her vocal artistry, Meriem is skilled in several string and percussion instruments.

Growing up, she was exposed to a rich mix of Eastern and Western musical styles, beginning with her father’s Arabic Sufi chanting and later studying violin, classical guitar, and piano. After earning a degree in Electronic Engineering in Tunisia, she moved to Canada, where she further refined her classical music skills at the Royal Conservatory of Music before enrolling in a Bachelor’s in Electronic Music Production and Sound Design at Berklee College of Music.

For over a decade, Meriem performed with Vancouver’s Roma Jazz Ensemble, a group celebrated for its fusion of Eastern European melodies and Western jazz, led by Romanian violin virtuoso Lache Cercel.

In 2019, she began collaborating with two-time GRAMMY-nominated producer Carmen Rizzo—known for his work with Seal, Coldplay, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Paul Oakenfold, Cheb Khaled, and Alanis Morissette—on her debut album Once Upon a Time.

Meriem and Rizzo later co-founded the duo DIDON at the end of 2021. Their 2023 debut album Tunisian Tale reached #1 on the NACC World Music Chart for multiple consecutive weeks. Their subsequent albums earned three JUNO Award nominations: Malak for Global Music Album of the Year in 2025, followed by Bab El Mdina for both Electronic Album of the Year and Global Music Album of the Year in 2026.

Beyond her work with Roma Jazz Ensemble and DIDON, Meriem continues to collaborate with artists across genres and cultures, always seeking new sonic and creative horizons.

New Album

Musk

Musk, the fourth studio album from DIDON, the three-time JUNO Award-nominated duo of singer-songwriter Meriem Ben Amor and two-time GRAMMY-nominated producer Carmen Rizzo, marks a new chapter in their musical journey.

Bringing together musicians from diverse backgrounds, Musk weaves traditional North African and Middle Eastern instrumentation with intricate electronic sound design, atmospheric synths, and pulsating rhythms. Like a lingering fragrance, its seven compositions evoke lasting memories and emotions. Moving between hypnotic grooves, intimate melodies, and introspective soundscapes, the album explores vulnerability, longing, resilience, and the search for human connection in an increasingly disconnected world, tracing a journey from inner turmoil toward healing and renewal.
