Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Occassionally, but I see myself more of a recording artist.
Your musical influences
Seventis pop, when I was a child. My parents had a record store. I used to sit at the back and do my homework while people came in to buy records.
Then I was greatly influenced by classsical music in my teen years. While traditional Egyptian folklore - probably the oldest surviving tunes in the world - started influencing me as I stepped into the twenties.
