muslim pop star yuna climbs the u.s. charts

Award-winning singer Yuna is already a star in her native Malaysia, where she has been on the rise since her debut in 2008. She’s also an observant Muslim and an entrepreneur. Yuna runs a fashion boutique that sells funky but modest clothes that meet the requirements of her faith. And while she’s climbing the American charts with her new album, Nocturnal, she’s not compromising her style or her religion. “I’m a Muslim. I don’t try to hide it,” Yuna says. “I’m also a girl who loves music.”

Yuna spoke with Tell Me More host Michel Martin about her music, her heritage and her faith.
