El Jadida, Maroc

Lyricist, Composer & Singer I was born in 1993, in El Jadida, coastal town an hour and a half south of Casablanca. I have seven siblings and my parents have always loved arts; and shared this love with us. Harvesting red algae to extract Agar Agar to earn a living, they introduced us to nature; our surroundings. Through my link to them, the earth, the ocean and the arts, I met traditional moroccan music: el Aita with Fatna bent el Houssine and Mergoum, Songs of Moroccan Jews with Sami Maghribi, el Hassani with Dimi, Meryem Hassan and, el Malhoun with Houssine Toulaly. I, then, met 60's Reggae with Bob Marley and Jazz with Nina Simone and Melody Gardot. I also met Blues and Rock. I write music; world music if I have to name it.
