Imen Mohamed

Imen Mohamed, also known as Imenella, is a Somali-Swedish artist, choreographer, and dancer born in 1988 in Mogadishu, Somalia. She is renowned for her achievements in dancehall, having won the World Dancehall Championship in Jamaica and received a Grammis award for 'Best New Artist'. Her early life was marked by trauma and displacement, as she fled Somalia's civil war with her mother, later being separated and raised in Kenya before reuniting with her family in Sweden. Imen's artistic expression serves as both a means of therapy and a way to connect with her cultural heritage, leading to her successful music career that began with her debut single 'Moves' in 2018.
