drachen

Composer, arranger, performer, music director and teacher, I graduate of the 'Université de Montreal' , I have been passionate about everything that resembles music for more than 45 years.

Hello and welcome! I'm an independent composer, musician, music teacher and producer from Düsseldorf/Germany. I played guitar and/or keyboards in various (rock/prog/indie/fusion/whatever) bands for years. Now I spend most of my time hanging out in the studio, creating tracks for video and TV content. Trying to be versatile, mixing and matching all kinds of genres I like. And I still don't use gen AI for my music.

It was quite a long way to get to this place. But now I'm here. Just listen.

🎵 Welcome to My SoundWorld!
I'm a music creator blending diverse styles to craft unique sonic experiences. From deep house to classic rock, oriental vibes to jazzy solos, my tracks explore emotions, stories, and cultures.

💡 Passionate about:

Fusing traditional instruments like the oud and ney with modern beats.
Creating soulful lyrics in Arabic and English.
Pushing boundaries with experimental music styles.
🎧 Let’s vibe, explore, and connect through music! Follow me for a journey across rhythms and melodies.

(Feel free to tweak or add specifics if you'd like to highlight certain instruments, genres, or themes further!)
