Get ‘Close’ to International Sensation Xena Aouita

Xena Aouita is a multi-dimensional 22-year-old entertainer and anti-bullying advocate whose international success has garnered her over a million adoring fans across the globe. Of Morrocan heritage, which she shares with music icon French Montana, Xena is the quintessential entertainer and looks to expand her reach and impact by focusing more on the American market. Her music video for her recent single Close has gained over one million views on YouTube and is lighting up TikTok as well.

A quadruple threat, Xena is a fantastic singer, songwriter, dancer, and powerful speaker addressing the global topic of anti-bullying. Born on June 15, 2000, in Orlando, Florida, and raised in Houston, Texas, this Gemini began her public life at the age of 13; releasing her first music video, “Best Memories.” Xena performed her first headlining concert in Houston, Texas, in April 2017, a successful and personal achievement.

Exhibiting a deep work ethic, in 2018, Xena released her first EP composed of three songs, ‘Still Young,’ ‘I’m Gone,’ and ‘A Little Bit,’ beginning her rise to international acclaim as an artist. The rising star went on to gain teen pageant titles representing her hometown of Houston, Texas (Miss Teen Houston International 2018), and her ancestral home of Morocco (Miss Teen Morocco 2018). Xena would also make a special appearance and performance in her official capacity as Miss Teen Houston International during the 6th annual Big Taste of Houston presented by Audi, benefiting the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.

2019 was a breakout year for Xena; she released her first album, Metamorphosis, consisting of 10 songs with accompanying music videos featuring prominent rapper, T-Wayne. She also released her hit single “Complicate,” featuring social media and YouTube influencer Chris Sails. Her platform for anti-bullying inspired the song.

2020 would see Xena continue her meteoric rise with a high-profile two-day appearance at the Louvre in France during Paris Fashion Week; featuring on a song with Houston Hip Hop legend Lil Flip entitled “Feelings“; sharing the stage with Texas standout T-Wayne for a New Year’s concert and receiving an award at UNESCO. Adding to her growing international acclaim, Xena delivered her biggest hit in the Arab world that same year, “Hadya Lbhar,” with the region’s iconic diva, Haja Hamdaouia. The video for “Hadya Lbhar” has garnered nearly five million views.

Xena’s popularity has begun to spread across Europe as well. In 2021 and 2022, she enjoyed successful tours in Belgium and Netherlands, further highlighting her undeniable growth domestically and abroad as one of the important emerging voices of the pop world.

During her burgeoning career, Xena has become a media darling, making appearances in the United States and abroad on television, radio, and on stage for concerts and events, as well as sharing stages with high-profile Arab celebrities here in the States for various performances supporting the community and businesses. An advocate for the bullied, Xena has often donated her time and concerts at home and across the globe to support the causes and non-profit organizations so dear to her heart.

More than an entertainer, Xena supports multiple initiatives, some of the most impactful for her have been participating in the following:

Xena made guest appearances with the Mayor of Houston Sylvester Tuner and Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee during the NFL Super Bowl to pass out STEM Awards at Microsoft with the Congresswoman.
Performed free concerts during the Super Bowl to help raise funds to bless 150 plus special needs kids. Xena humbly served the kids with a warm foot wash and new pair of shoes.

Xena has been instrumental in assisting with serval shoe drives that provided over 25,000 pairs of shoes in the relief efforts during Hurricane Harvey

Xena’s mission is to use her voice and music, the international language, to spread “contagious positivity” by pouring love, hope, joy, and compassion into the lives of three subgroups titled “SBS” Special Needs, Bullying, and Sex Trafficking. “It takes a community, and we need your support to give these three subgroups a better quality of life,” she says.

Along with her charitable missions, Xena has been busy making fantastic music and perfecting her craft in studios in Europe and the United States. Her latest release, “Close” produced by Jordan Knows has fans abuzz and excited for her upcoming release which she’s stated will be more R&B focused.

Stay tuned because this exciting star is up to something epic for her American launch we’re told!
