I’m a music composer, producer, expert percussionist, and Arabic lyricist passionate about creating authentic Arabic and Oriental music through modern production. With my own professional setup using Pro Tools and Cubase, I work on recording, editing, arranging, and producing music while collaborating with talented Arabic instrumentalists and musicians through a strong professional network I’ve built over the years. Although I’ve spent years teaching music and inspiring students, composition and production have always been the path closest to me — transforming emotions, rhythm, and stories into music is what truly drives my passion.
