Studio Recording

In addition to live performances, I’m also available for studio sessions and remote recording. Whether you’re producing a track that needs authentic Arabic or North African percussionor khaliji , or you’re building a fusion sound, I bring high-quality recordings with a deep understanding of rhythm, groove, and feel. I record from my home studio and deliver professionally mixed percussion tracks tailored to your project , and i can travel to record at any studio around the worlds

My Approach

I believe rhythm is a universal language. Through percussion, I tell stories that connect cultures and generations. From the trance grooves of Gnawa to the celebratory energy of chaabi, I aim to bring authenticity, soul, and movement into every performance or studio sessions.

I work openly with artists of any background, always honoring the sacred and cultural meaning behind the rhythms I play.
