Inside the Studio: Dana Al-Meer

This episode was recorded live at Web Summit Qatar in February 2026. This special return episode of Inside the Studio finds Jordan Runtagh exploring the intersection of cutting-edge technology and timeless human expression: music. His guest is Dana Al Meer, widely hailed as Qatar’s first homegrown pop superstar — a cultural pioneer who performed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and later represented her country at the Innervision Song Contest. Beyond the global stage, Al Meer serves as director of Music Lab Qatar, mentoring the next generation of artists — and in this conversation, she reflects on creativity, identity, and what it means to find your voice in a rapidly changing world.
