I am an experienced music producer with extensive skills in composition, mixing, mastering, & sound design. With almost a decade in the industry working internationally & domestically, I deliver high-quality musical projects tailored to your needs.
Being 22 years old at the moment and almost a medical professional, I tend to harmonise my passion for healing with the rhythms of music. Since I started, I have been crafting sounds that echo the rich cultural tapestry of my upbringing.
I look at my music career as a journey, where the banks of the Suez Canal and the stars above it have influenced every tone I hear and use. I like to believe that my blend of local traditions and contemporary compositions aims to share the soul of Egyptian music with the world.

Interview with AIICX
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: It was a jazz song that I composed and produced around 4 or 5 years ago. I got to play it with some friends live in a local venue and perform as the drummer. Sadly, the song is not available for streaming as of right now, but it is a good memory nevertheless.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Probably another experimental score that I'll never release and will keep listening to on repeat till I hate it.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Sadly, no. I am new to the platform, and most of my connections are in real life.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. Only because I have been familiar with it for the past few years. Either is fine by me.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will always try to overcome my shortcomings if I ever hold their work back. I can have all the knowledge in the world, yet wanting to keep trying is what I believe to be more important.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being a doctor? Who said I like it? Anyway, if you mean my music job, then the answer is simply because it's less frustrating than being a doctor.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Usually it's about the relevant work, and every instance is different, so I guess there is no common question I get asked.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it didn't require years of hard work to be taken seriously professionally.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I typically ask for what they are looking for. I try to understand their vision rather than bothering them with boring details. I like to clarify what could be achievable and what is not before proceeding with the project so we both can stay on track.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I'm in no place to be telling people what they should or should not do, but if I may say something, it'd be to talk more in depth before agreeing to do any work. It'd save everyone's time and energy.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 5? That is generosity. I'd probably just take a Simsimiyya, a shaker, and a good synth. A Simsimiyya alone would be more than fine, actually.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Other than music? I am a doctor. Still a one, I didn't abandon it. As for music, I have been a producer for around 9+ years and a composer for nearly 6 or 7 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I try to give most of my work an Eastern tone, if suitable, but I can't define a style for myself. I am sure there is one; I just can't put my hands on it.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: There is no one I am looking to work with specifically. I am glad to work with whoever I get to work with.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Do not oversaturate your mono sounds with reverb. Just don't.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly, but not limited to, Rock, Metal, Orchestral Scores, and Original Soundtracks.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I have no clue. Aside from technicalities, however, I like to believe that I consistently keep trying to keep my promises.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A consistent flow of technical know-how and just my own tone.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Well, I guess I will have to figure this one out first. I have no consistent work process.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I had a well-equipped studio in the past before I moved abroad to get my degree. Now, I am working on the go most of the time, and I do not feel I had to compromise quality for portability. I should note that I did and will still rent studios and hire instrument players if the projects I am working on require it.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am afraid there are not a lot. Most of them are local musicians who are not even popular in the region, yet they are still brilliant. I wish they had an online presence to give them a well-deserved shoutout, but sadly, they do not.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I have been doing original scores and soundtracks for short movies and indie games lately. It is a worthy experience so far. I prefer original compositions, and I lean to always go this route, unless prompted otherwise, because I like to keep my tone consistent and have control over my project. I am still, however, well-experienced when it comes to acoustic music like rock, metal, jazz, blues, and folkloric music.

I evaluate every project I work on separately and dictate every single term based on its conditions and what outcome we hope it comes by. I believe in giving every single project its rightful justice.
