ChiefWAV is a Palestinian electronic music producer, field recordist, and cultural entrepreneur based in Ramallah. His work fuses raw environmental sounds with deep, driving rhythms to create immersive sonic landscapes. From street recordings in Ramallah to experimental house and techno productions, Chief’s music blurs the line between documentation and art. His tracks have been featured in international music platforms and cultural projects, and his sound archives capture the living texture of Palestine. Its energy, its noise, and its silences. Whether behind the decks, in the field with a mic, or deep in the studio, his mission is the same: to turn reality into rhythm.

The 27-year-old Palestinian-Jordanian artist newly based in Palestine started making music at the age of 17. The Synaptik studied medicine for 7 years and graduated. His stage name is derived from his fascination with the nervous system, neurotransmitters and his personal experience with ADHD, which led to calling himself The Synaptik: “…because that’s where things happen.”
The Synaptik has pioneered a new wave of sound for the Arab youth. His honest and potent lyrics are highlighted by his songwriting style that merges singing and rapping effortlessly. With a tsunami of a first album under his belt, dozens of local, regional, and international shows and a much-anticipated second album, The Synaptik has cemented his status as one of the pillars in the Hip Hop scene in the region.
The Synaptik has collaborated with numerous artists from all over the Middle East such as rap superstars Abyusif, Wegz, Marwan Mousa, Chyno with a Why?, Shabjdeed and more. Based in Amman and Ramallah. The Synaptik has managed to amass over 40 million streams and views across various streaming platforms.
