Biography
Having embarked on my musical journey from an early age and academically since 1994, my career as a violinist has been a harmonious blend of passion and professionalism. Since starting my professional performances in 2000 and relocating to Canada in 2006, I've had the honor of collaborating with esteemed Arabic orchestras and artists such as Mohammad Assaf, Saadoun Jabber, and the National Arabic Orchestra, touring extensively across Canada and the USA. My specialization in wedding performances during cocktail hours and receptions has become a hallmark of my career, where I meticulously craft music to create unforgettable moments. Whether performing solo or alongside other talented musicians, I bring years of experience and a deep sense of professionalism to every event, ensuring that the music sets the perfect mood.

Do you perform solo or with other musicians?
I perform both solo and as part of ensembles. Depending on your event’s needs, I can collaborate with other musicians, such as qanoun, oud, or percussion players, to create a richer and more dynamic musical experience.
What’s the difference between the violin and the electric violin in your performances?
The traditional violin offers a classic, acoustic sound perfect for elegant and intimate settings, such as cultural, orchestras and Takhs ensumble events. The electric violin, on the other hand, allows for amplified sound and effects, making it ideal for modern or high-energy performances, like festivals and corporate events with larger audiences.
What types of events do you perform at?
I perform at a wide variety of events, including weddings, corporate events, festivals, private parties, cultural celebrations, and live concerts. Whether you're looking for a classical touch or a modern, vibrant performance with the electric violin or acoustic, I can tailor my music to suit your event's atmosphere.
