About me

Projects
  • Ink26 •
    Ink26 •Blood ink and Element 26. Two of the top Lebanese metal bands who grew up in the music scene together and the members have always been close friends. They interchangeably switched members and played together a lot of gigs. However, both had to split and become inactive since 2012 as some of their members had to travel. Naturally, the ideal decision was for them to merge and become reality in 2015. Today, Blood ink & Element 26 have become a new band, ink26, combining the best talents of both.

  • Pics on Picks •
    Pics on Picks •Music is very personal to me, which is why I came up with a little-me-avatar for my custom guitar picks. Since random people, friends and musicians all over the region have been asking for their own, I decided to help them personalize and design their avatars. More illustrations can be checked on my instagram account and If you're interested in having your own, drop me a message and I'll be happy to discuss further.
