Biography:

Born into a family pulsating with musical talent, I embarked on my journey into the vibrant world of Music at a young age. Growing up surrounded by the melodies of The Ellites, a family band founded by my father, I discovered my passion for music. At just 13, I joined as a drummer, igniting a lifelong love affair with rhythm and melody.

A true musical polymath, I swiftly became a multi-instrumentalist, learning to play the drums, guitar, piano, and bass guitar. Singing and producing my own music became second nature, solidifying my presence as a versatile force in the industry.

My musical roots delve deep into diverse influences, from the iconic sounds of Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and Justin Bieber, to the rhythmic beats of Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid. Additionally, my penchant for rock and metal, inspired by RHCP, BMTH, Metallica, and AC/DC, shapes my unique sonic palette.

What sets my Afrobeats apart is the seamless integration of multiple languages, a reflection of my commitment to reaching a global audience. In a single song, you might catch me effortlessly weaving lyrics in four different languages, creating a harmonious tapestry of cultures and sounds.

Beyond the studio, I bring an Afro Rockstar theme to life in my live performances. It's not just music; it's a sensory experience that transcends boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on every audience.

Being born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I draw a lot of inspiration from the rich melodies and rhythms of Saudi culture, adding an extra layer to my music.

Looking ahead, my aspirations are sky-high. A dream collaboration wishlist featuring Davido, Chris Brown, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, and Justin Bieber fuels my determination to contribute to the global evolution of Afrobeats.

Join me on this musical journey as I continue to blend genres, languages, and cultures, carving my unique niche in the ever-evolving world of Afrobeats.
