Clarissa Bitar is an accomplished Palestinian oud musician and composer hailing from Los Angeles, California. Clarissa's music has garnered attention across diverse mediums including Netflix, radio, film, and international exhibits, reflecting the universal appeal and impact of their artistry. Noteworthy releases include the collaborative poetry-oud EP with Palestinian poet Mohammed El-Kurd, titled 'Bellydancing on Wounds' [https://open.spotify.com/album/59idIAzNhQqMavFhanUBoe], and their album 'Hassan Sabi [https://open.spotify.com/album/2SI7hmidxWnQkCk2hAbnqp],' both demonstrating Clarissa's commitment to exploring new dimensions in music and storytelling.

In their forthcoming studio album, Bakhaf Al Layl, Clarissa takes us through a journey of a long night filled with insistent longing, grief, and aching, all transmuted through electric guitar, oud, poetic vocals, and eclectic genre bending. In their second studio album, Clarissa brings the oud into new soundscapes and flexes their production and skills as a multi-instrumentalist – playing keys, guitar, bass, vocals, oud and producing the entire project.
