Faiza Kracheni (she/her) is a Mexican Algerian American self-taught media artist and musician hailing from East Austin, Texas.

Faiza's directorial portfolio includes music videos for a diverse array of artists such as Young Guv, Vosh, Kotunsion, Mujeres Podridas, Don’t Get Lemon. and Single Lash.

With over a decade of experience as an active touring musician, Faiza's latest creative endeavor is the electronic duo "Flesh of Morning." Their debut single "Here in Heaven" was released in 2022, with a full-length album slated for release in 2023/2024.

Her multimedia installation "BORN & RAISED" has garnered acclaim, featuring prominently at SXSW 2023 at the City of Austin Public Library Downtown, as well as an international exhibition in Koscie Slovakia in 2022.
