Bahrain celebrates its women today, highlighting their creativity, resilience, and contributions to society. From artists and entrepreneurs to innovators and community leaders, Bahraini women continue to shape the nation’s cultural, social, and professional landscape.

Singer-songwriter Reem Baqeri, known for her debut single “Read,” blends acoustic pop with heartfelt lyrics. With a background in classical music and piano from a young age, her style mixes acoustic pop, ballads, classical music, and a touch of theatrical sarcasm.

After a six-year break, Reem has returned to writing music inspired by her personal life, combining lyricism and emotion into her original songs.

Earlier this year, she won her first award for “Best Performance of an Original Arrangement” at the AUS Piano Festival.
