Fez — Moroccan singer Wijdane Said was named Best Rising Female Singer at “DearGuest Awards 2025” in Cairo, a new milestone in her career, which has grown quickly from reality-TV discovery to regional pop presence.

Said first became popular during the second season of “Qisma w Nassib,” then kept her momentum going with a steady run of singles and an active connection with fans online. 

In recent months, her releases have drawn strong engagement, helping turn early TV visibility into a lasting music profile.

The DearGuest ceremony is one of Egypt’s high-profile annual events, gathering figures from film, television, music, media, and sports. This year’s edition adds a regional layer to Said’s recognition, placing her alongside Arab artists whose work resonates beyond their home markets. 

For Moroccan music specifically, the win follows a trend. DearGuest has previously honored names such as Saad Lamjarred, Ibtissam Tiskat, and Ihab Amir, and Said now joins that list as a fresh voice with clear upward trajectory.

Industry watchers point to a few reasons for her exciting rise to fame.. The songs lean on accessible melodies and clean production, while her social media presence keeps a conversational tone that invites fans into the process rather than speaking at them. That approach, paired with a consistent release schedule, has helped transform a reality-show introduction into a recognizable brand.

For fans, the award offers both validation and a hint at what comes next: more stages outside Morocco, new collaborations, and a broader push across North Africa and the Middle East. 

For the artist, it is a signal that a path from TV spotlight to a recording career can be sustainable when it is built on audience trust, a clear identity, and steady work.

As the fall season of festivals and awards ramps up, Said’s DearGuest achievement gives her added visibility and leverage. Whether the next step is a debut album, a regional tour, or a round of features, the message from Cairo is simple—her moment is here, and the door to a wider Arab audience is open.
