I am a music professional with a deep passion for sound and composition. I originally studied dentistry for five years and practiced as a dentist, but I pursued music theory at the Music Institute in Cairo. This led me to freelance as a guitarist with underground bands and eventually to film music, scoring for ads and short films. As my interest in audio grew, I trained in sound engineering, working as an assistant sound engineer and sound recordist. This hands-on experience inspired me to pursue an MA in Music for the Moving Image. I am now seeking opportunities in music research to uncover the science behind sound and to develop my research skills.…I am a music professional with a deep passion for sound and composition.
