I was born in Tripoli-Lebanon, started writing poetry in litterary arabic when i was 11, and started rhyming in spoken lebanese dialect in 1999, when i was 15. At that time we were a group of 3 mc's going under the name of "Mlouk el Mic" (kings of the mic). We recorded an album that was shared for free, and we did some concerts in our hometown. There were no ngo's then, and no one cared about giving us any support except our friends and the young ppl who were liking what we were doing.

Unfortunately, i had to leave to france after two years, when i was 17, to study math finance and economics. Studies were hard, money was rare, and exile was tough, but music and poetry never left me, i kept on rhyming with some underground french mc's like Medline and Moebius, and i developped new musical capacities, on percussions, classical arabic singing and baglama (turkish buzuk).

After finishing my studies and working for almost 2 years in the hell of banking and market finance, i decided to come back to lebanon. I spent a year just re-discovering beirut and making/learning music. After that year i got a job as a journalist in the newspaper Assafir.

3 years with at Assafir in arab and international affairs, covered the arab revolutions. Left Assafir after a lot of divergences, participated in creating Almodon as the head of arab and international affairs department, between September 2012 and july 2013 when I left for deontological reasons.

After the first album “Kachf el Mahjoub” with the talented music maker Jawad Nawfal aka Munma released in February 2012 , and the success it had regionally from tunis to Syria Palestine Egypt Jordan and the gulf countries, the second album with Munma “Adam, Darwin and the penguin” will be released in the coming 2 months, alongside many other projects on the arab scale that will be announced in due time.
