Billboard-charting Lebanese artist DD Foxx on singing along to jingles as a child, her mix of pop, dance, R&B and funk, and why she's an artist, not an influencer. DD Foxx is a Lebanese Billboard-charting recording artist based in Dubai, UAE. We take a journey through her life in music, from her childhood singing along to commercials and jingles, to her music today, a mixture of pop, dance, R&B and funk with a unique Middle Eastern flavour. On February 23, 2019, DD Foxx's debut U.S. single "Need Your Love Tonight" reached #18 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart, a historic first for a female artist from the UAE.
