My music.
Growing up in Syria, I was surrounded by traditional classical middle eastern music . As time passed, I still maintained my love for the traditional Arabic tarab but my exposure to other genres of music made me curious. I have become passionate about fusing different melodic forms and rhythms such as bossa nova and gypsy jazz with Arabic flavor. This is my quest and to share these unique beats with the world.
