In a year full of uncertainty, one thing stood out loud and clear on Egypt’s social media timelines “ESLAM EL MARG.” This breakout track was not backed by labels or influencers. It was not hyped up or manufactured. It was raw, authentic, and came straight from the heart of a young independent artist who did not even realize it was trending until he saw the explosion of reactions on Facebook and Twitter.
Meet Xiety, the artist who turned a casual music upload into a cultural moment. “I didn’t care about the numbers when I posted it,” he shares. “Then suddenly people were posting it everywhere. It was trending number one on Twitter. That’s when I knew something crazy was happening.”
This was not just another viral song. It was a movement, organic, unexpected, and deeply relatable.
The Journey Begins: Music at 14, Experiments at 18
Long before the success of Eslam El Marg, Xiety was already working on his craft. He started learning music production at just 14 years old. “I’ve always felt that music was the only way I could really express myself,” he explains.
By 2018, he began sharing his experimental sounds with the world. There were no filters, no trends to follow, just raw creativity. Each upload was a reflection of his thoughts and feelings. This fearless approach to music slowly started building him a small but loyal community, long before the viral wave.
Eslam El Marg: More Than Just a Song
To most people, Eslam El Marg was a catchy tune. But for Xiety, it was a snapshot of a moment that carried joy, fun, and deep emotional resonance. “It wasn’t just about me. It became a memory that many people could relate to,” he says.
The song’s sudden rise taught him something powerful authenticity wins. In an age where everything seems calculated, this track was proof that honest art still matters.
Climbing Without a Corporate Ladder
Success brought new opportunities, but also new challenges. “After the song blew up, I started connecting with people in the music industry,” he explains. “I made great friends, started to see where I could go but my biggest struggle was the corporate system.”
Being an independent artist has always been his choice. But as music production and distribution became more commercialized, Xiety found himself navigating a world that did not always align with his values. “I’m not the best when it comes to handling the business side of things. I’ve always worked solo. That’s my strength, but also my weakness,” he admits.
Reinventing the Sound: The Future Is a Fusion
Rather than chase the same wave that made him famous, Xiety is carving a new path. Right now, he’s working on a full album that fuses authentic Egyptian Shaabi music with futuristic electronic elements.
“It’s something I haven’t heard before,” he says with passion. “This is what I believe will bring Egyptian music to the global stage.”
His goal is not just to make hits but to shape a new sound. A sound that represents both his culture and his vision of the future.
Lessons From the Rise: Stay Detached, Stay Focused
Fame can be a double edged sword. For Xiety, one of the biggest lessons has been learning to let go of expectations from others. “Don’t get attached to people,” he says plainly. “It gave me peace of mind to stop caring about others’ opinions.”
This mindset shift helped him stay true to himself and avoid the toxic side of the music industry. It is this clarity that is now guiding him through his next phase.
Legacy Over Stardom: I Want to Be Memorable
When asked about the future, Xiety’s answer is simple yet powerful: “I want my music to be iconic.”
He does not just want to be another trending artist. He wants his name and sound to stand the test of time. “I want to be remembered not just as a star, but as an artist who left a mark,” he says.
To him, every beat, every lyric, every project is a piece of his story, a story that he hopes will inspire others to follow their own creative path.
Taking Risks: Don’t Fear New Experiences
If there’s one piece of advice Xiety offers to young creators, it’s this: Take your chances. He never expected Eslam El Marg to go viral. He never planned on becoming a voice for a generation. But he trusted his art, put himself out there, and embraced the unknown.
“New experiences are where growth happens,” he says. “You can’t be afraid of them. They might just change your life.”
Final Words: The Artist Behind the Vibes
Today, Xiety continues to work quietly but powerfully behind the scenes. His social media remains lowkey, with most updates shared through his Instagram. He is not interested in overexposure. Instead, he is pouring his energy into crafting something new, something lasting.
Through struggles with corporate systems, personal growth, and genre bending experiments, Xiety remains a symbol of how far you can go when you stay true to your voice. His story is not just about a viral hit, it is about the journey of an independent artist daring to do something different.
And for those watching closely, it is clear: Xiety’s next wave might be even bigger than the last.
