Rayan Hamda Barhoumi

Rayan Hamda Barhoumi, born on September 24, 2001, in Nice, is a French author, transmedia actor, and musician.

His work explores themes of survival, resilience, and inner transformation through narratives grounded in reality yet driven by a strong symbolic and emotional dimension.

Shaped by a life marked by adversity and self-overcoming, he develops a direct, embodied, and introspective style of writing in which human experience takes precedence over effect. His texts examine the harshness of the contemporary world, the construction of identity, systemic violence, and the possibility of redemption, without ever resorting to manicheism.

Alongside his literary work, Rayan Hamda Barhoumi is the creator of the narrative universe Jackrabbit, an original work blending action, drama, and psychological thriller. Conceived as a global creative laboratory, this universe unfolds through writing, performance, and music, reflecting a deeply personal approach to storytelling and character development.

Trained as a musician, he also composes under the name Lytcheess, extending his artistic themes through sound and atmosphere. This cross-disciplinary approach feeds a coherent body of work in which each medium interacts with the others to serve a unified vision.

Through his books, Rayan Hamda Barhoumi seeks less to entertain than to leave a mark. His writing speaks to those familiar with struggle, doubt, anger, or reconstruction, and who recognize fiction as a way to better understand reality.
