Swiss-Assyrian singer Tibelya is bringing her ancestral heritage to the forefront with her latest single, *“Daughter of Mesopotamia,”* released on September 25, 2026\. Combining contemporary pop and R&B with lyrics in English and Assyrian, the song is a personal expression of cultural identity and a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Assyrian people.

At the heart of the song is the declaration: “They can’t erase my roots, in my hand lies the truth.” The lyrics convey a message of resilience, self-determination, and pride in one's heritage, affirming that cultural identity cannot simply be erased by the passage of time or changing circumstances.

Originally from Sargans in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, Tibelya has steadily established herself on Switzerland's music scene. Her growing profile has been accompanied by radio interviews and coverage in regional publications, including *Radio Grischa*, *Sarganserländer*, *Wundo*, *Vaterland*, and *LIEWO*.

In 2026, she enjoyed a particularly active festival season, performing at several prominent Swiss events, including OpenAir St. Gallen, Stars in Town, Seaside Festival, Sound am See, and Musig uf de Gass.

Her musical identity moves between pop and R&B, while the influence of her Assyrian heritage has increasingly become a defining element of her artistic direction. Tibelya has described the character of her voice and music through the contrasting imagery of the desert: warm like the sun over the sand, yet marked by the melancholy of cold desert nights. With *“Daughter of Mesopotamia,”* she brings that personal artistic identity into sharper focus, placing her own story and ancestral roots at the centre of her work.
