Qanun, nay,
and the art of tarab.

I'm a qanun and nay player, composer, and producer based in Melbourne, with roots in Beirut. For more than a decade I've worked across Arabic classical music, the worlds of maqam and tarab, alongside Mediterranean and Anatolian traditions and electronic production.

I founded and direct Ṣaltanah, co-founded Ṭarabeat, and play as a core member of Estudiantina of Melbourne and The Kismet Project. My work moves between concert halls, festivals, processions, and the studio, performing, directing, composing, and archiving along the way.
