Finalist

I’m an author composer. I play the guitar and piano and I sing.

My name is Ellen Andersson but after having performed upstairs at an Irish bar in Stockholm I was known as “Ellen Upstairs” by the regulars and the name stuck with me. I was born in Sweden and learned to play the accordion at 9. After a couple of years I taught myself how to play the guitar, and that’s when I started writing music. When I moved to Chicago to study music, my love for composition truly started to bloom, and I found my own way of expressing how I was feeling about things I struggled to communicate otherwise. I believe that music can make a big difference in the world, as long as people are willing to stop and listen.

Mariam and Frida are both from Farsta in southern Stockholm, Sweden. Justice and equality are important values ​​to both of them and they are passionate about creating a more inclusive world. Mariam is Palestinian herself and the struggle for Palestine has always been present for both of them.

General Knas is a reggae artist from Sweden that has been active since 1999. I have been an activist for a free Palestine since I can remember. Worked and lived seven months in a Palestinian refugee camp. Part of Ship to Gaza/Freedom Flotilla 2010. The song is produced and released by Evidence Music. 

My name is Jonathan Christie and my stage name is JC BIGFOOT. I am a activist for Palestine, a rapper and singer/songwriter. I write songs about social injustice and how we need equality and human rights for all. I have been songwriting for 7 years. 

I have written 2 songs for Palestine to raise awareness and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. 

I campaign for Palestine in Scotland with the SPSC- scottish Palestine solidarity campaign and I stand with Palestine Everyday.

I perform my Palestinians songs regularly at protests, open mics and sometimes gigs.

The featured artist is Emma grant and her stage name is EMA. She is a very talented vocalist and singer/songwriter also. We met at hip hop school in Aberdeen, Scotland and she is also a supporter of the Palestine cause, the movement for their freedom and helps raise awareness on social media.

My name is Johanna Kroon. I am a socialist and a pacifist. 

My political involvement mostly goes through music and theater and I am convinced that art plays a significant role in politics and people’s endeavor to change society. 

For 12 years I have performed socialist music, both songs from the swedish socialist tradition and my own. “A song for Palestine” was my way of expressing the anger and sadness I felt about the Swedish government’s shameful silence regarding Gaza. When those in power choose silence, the people need to raise their voices. We will scream, cry and demonstrate until the last weapon is laid down.

 Gävlebaserade hiphop-artisten Lil Moe tar ställning och vägrar vara tyst om det pågående kriget i Palestina i sin senaste låt, “F is Real”. Med djärva texter och kraftfulla beats öppnar Lil Moe en konversation om det som ofta förblir tystat.

  Lil Moe, som tidigare har utryckt sig med en freestyle i SR om koranbränningen, ger nu röst åt de som lider i Palestina. Hans låt reflekterar hans personliga synpunkt och uppmanar lyssnare att reflektera över den pågående konflikten.

’’Vår röst ska bli hörd, oavsett vad! Budskapet måste spridas.’’

I am a Syrian-Norwegian activist who’s based in Oslo. Growing up, I’ve learned
to consider the Palestinian case as it is my own . The last 7 months has been
devastating for me. As a person who experienced the brutality of the Syrian
regimes aggression against its own people in Syria back in 2011, I know how it
feels when the whole world is watching the mass killing of your innocent people
without doing anything to stop it. I want it to do what I expected others to do
when I was living under the brutal circumstances similar to what our families in
Gaza are going through. I am not an artist, neither good at writing stuff, In fact I
work in tech. My journey with music started last year after creating a cover for
an islamic song for Maher Zain who inspires me. But I am also a big fan of using
art to cast light on important matters and be the voice for the oppressed
people. I wanted to use my voice to tell the world about how it feels to be
witnessing live broadcasted genocide, while the leaders are doing nada to stop
it. The last months I participated in a lot of activities to support the Palestinian
case, I sang Palestinian songs in demonstrations, and in the streets, and I
participated in a writing workshop for Slam Poetry. I wrote my feelings down, I
then asked musicians who stands on the right side of history if we can turn it to
a song. I was lucky to meet Birk Bream who was very interested in the idea and
we started working on it immediately. We are very happy about our song and
hope all free souls will like it.

Ellen Flowerhill will be releasing the single “My Love Didn’t Want Me” on the 10th of May with a surrealist DIY video exploring Y2K aesthetics out on the 23rd of May and remixes from several artists from Sweden to Canada and the Netherlands.

This artist is missing from FalastinVision.
Due to the silencing and threats on outspoken voices of artistic and cultural resistance this artist was forced to withdraw. This time it was an artist from occupied Palestine and the disappearance of their content is just one example of the systematic silencing of artists and activist all around the world.

FalastinVision is a platform and a voice for the struggle. By supporting FalastinVision you are one of us. This page is a tribute to all artists in the struggle, together we vow to never be quiet.

Our group is made up of Irish people and Palestinians living in Ireland. Whether through the sense of solidarity through common struggle that Ireland and Palestine have shared for years or through direct ties to the land of Palestine, we’ve all come together to show our solidarity, resist through art and salute the journalists in Palestine who stand up to a military force with a phone, camera or press vest.

New artist from Stockholm who has been making music for over half his life but started releasing songs officially later in 2023. So far I have only released 3 songs due to work and lack of time.

The mask is directly inspired by the movie “V for Vendetta” and Guy Fawkes and is a way to be anonymous and keep my privacy, but that particular mask symbolizes for me politics, freedom and seeing through the lies of politicians and world leaders and media houses, both in Sweden but worldwide. My music reflects my view of society, which is very left-leaning but at the same time critical of all power in Sweden and the world over, regardless of color and side.

My music is primarily conscious rap/hip-hop and reggae. Actually it was just rap in the beginning and when i was younger, but lately I’m more into reggae and will probably continue to mix with more leaning towards reggae.

The song “Long live Palestine” is the one that has received the most attention so far, but i still haven’t received over 10 thousand streams and have very few followers on social media accounts and very few streams compared to well-known and established artists so i’m still very unknown. But it wont stop me from continuing give new music with message wich stands on the right side of history.
