About

I’m a Dubai-based audio engineer, DJ, and pianist with a passion for live performance and original music for visual media. I blend technical precision with storytelling to craft space-specific soundtracks and performances.

My production work spans Europe, the Middle East, and the USA, including VIP audiences and collaborations with Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and the Hollywood Vampires. I specialize in tech house, minimal, underground, and Afro genres, and I’ve performed across local venues and collaborative art/music spaces, including a high-profile NYE piano moment at Burj Khalifa that impressed thousands.
