Available to hire
Hi, I’m Bassem Karame, a passionate music technology and media graduate specializing in teaching and performing electric guitar. I currently work as a guitar instructor at GuitarLessonsLB in Lebanon, where I help both beginners and experienced players grow their skills and confidence. I’m also deeply involved in live music performance, blending rock, pop, and Lebanese commercial music styles to create unique and engaging arrangements.
Apart from performing, I enjoy producing, mixing, and mastering music using REAPER, and I create engaging social media content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Video editing is another area I specialize in, primarily using Premiere Pro to craft high-quality videos. I love connecting with students and audiences through music and media, sharing my expertise, and constantly exploring new creative possibilities.
