About

I spent 6 years working as a policy advisor focused on international relations in the Middle East & North Africa, before leaving this work to start my career as an independent artist. I am a self taught musician, an accomplished video editor (music videos, short films, social media content), and most recently I am finishing editing several short documentaries on artists in Brussels. I film and edit all my work, as well as creating original soundtracks for what I create.
