Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a small performance area (2x2m), an armless chair, and a nearby power outlet for my sound system


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know if the performance is indoors or outdoors and if the venue has an existing sound system I can connect to


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I do not provide sound or lighting equipment. I require the venue or the client to provide a professional sound system with a high-quality microphone and an armless chair


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can provide a curated background playlist (Spotify/Digital) to keep the atmosphere alive during my breaks

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of my best performances was a solo Qanun set at a high-end corporate gala in Burj Al Arab, Dubai. The atmosphere was incredibly sophisticated, and the blend of traditional melodies with the luxury setting created a truly unforgettable experience for the VIP guests


What's your favourite type of event?

I particularly enjoy performing at luxury weddings, cultural festivals, and VIP corporate receptions. I love events where the audience appreciates the rich heritage of the Qanun, especially when providing a sophisticated background lounge atmosphere or an engaging live stage performance


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started my musical journey years ago with a deep passion for the Qanun, followed by academic training. Over the years, I have performed at numerous prestigious venues and festivals across the UAE, collaborating with various artists and delivering high-quality musical entertainment for hundreds of private and public events


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I am deeply inspired by legendary Qanun masters and iconic Arab artists like Umm Kulthum and Fairuz, whose timeless music defines the soul of the Middle East. To me, 'Enta Omri' remains one of the greatest compositions of all time, as it beautifully showcases the emotional depth and versatility of the Qanun

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 60 minutes before the start for setup. My standard performance includes two 45-minute sets with a short break, but I am flexible to adjust according to the event schedule


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors provided there is a shaded area and a flat surface to protect the instrument from direct sun and heat, along with a nearby power source


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Absolutely. While I have a curated repertoire of Arabic classics and modern hits, I am happy to include specific song requests from the client to ensure the music perfectly matches their vision


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients describe my music as soulful, elegant, and professional. They love the atmosphere i create


Do you perform solo or with accompaniment?

I offer versatile performance options tailored to your event. I can perform as a 'Soloist' for a full classical recital, or provide an elegant background atmosphere using high-quality backing tracks to create a rich, full-bodied sound
