A Moroccan digital music creator has launched a new multilingual song cover series aimed at showcasing how music can bridge cultures and languages.

Mohamed Afas, popularly known online as Chipper_TV, is reinterpreting popular songs in Arabic, English, French, Italian and Tagalog, presenting them as studio-recorded covers that highlight shared human experiences through music.

Afas has built a growing audience through short music performances on social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. His latest project brings together full-length versions of well-known songs with careful attention to vocal delivery and acoustic arrangements across multiple languages.

The creator, who previously lived in Abuja, Nigeria, for five years, said the experience exposed him to a wide range of musical influences and diverse communities, which inspired him to experiment with languages beyond his native Arabic.

“Living in Nigeria showed me how music connects people across borders and backgrounds,” Afas said in a recent interview. “This series is my way of reflecting that.”

The project follows Afas’ recognition at the fifth edition of the Creator Awards, where he won in the TikTok Force of Creative Music category. His online videos have attracted strong engagement, with many clips recording tens to hundreds of thousands of views from audiences around the world.

While multilingual music covers are increasingly common on digital platforms, Afas’ approach focuses on emotional expression and linguistic accuracy, appealing to listeners across North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Europe.

Industry observers note that independent creators are increasingly using digital tools to expand beyond short-form content and produce more structured music releases. They say the growing popularity of cross-cultural projects could open new opportunities for digital musicians seeking global audiences.

Afas continues to share updates and behind-the-scenes clips from the project through his social media channels.
