I was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, where the music scene surrounded me at home and all over town. Grew up gigging with many bands, then played with couple of others in Dubai, UAE, and around the Middle East, since my main job took place there in 2003. Two decades later (!), I am based in Montreal, Canada seeking to join a Rock/ Progressive/ Experimental band.
I grew up listening to Blues, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Funk, Latin and various electronic music. My influences are artist such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, Marty Friedman, Doug Aldrich, Slash, Gary Moore, Steve Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, John Lee Hooker and many others…My live performances are countless with various music genres from Blues to Heavy Metal to playing alongside DJs.
