The story of Saifeddine Helal is the story of an artist, an insatiable traveler, percussionist, composer, arranger, conductor, producer, teacher or researcher in the roots and the values of humanity...

Saifeddine Helal was born in Tunis, right in the heart of the North African culture.

He grew up listening and exploring many different North African and Oriental music styles, which formed the basis for his musical work today.

As a teenager, he began to work professionally as a percussionist with some of the most respected musicians of the traditional/pop Tunisian and Arabic music scene, and he soon established himself as a sought-after musician, well known for his authentic grasp of North African, Middle Eastern, Andalusian, African, Flamenco, Latin American and Electronic music styles.

A few years later, Saif moved to Paris. Over the years, he has been studying with masters of the Classical writing and Orchestration and featured as performer on many television shows as well as Jazz & World Music festivals in Tunisia, France, Germany, Belgium, Tunisia, Egypt, UK, The US and many other countries

In 2014 he got a scholarship to attend at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he he developed his skills in performance, contemporary writing and production.

Mastering a large variety of percussion instruments such as the Darbouka, Riqq, Bendir, frame drums, congas, bongos, Djembe, Cajon, Drums and many others, his musical influences today are derived from a combination of traditional Middle Eastern and North African rhythms, Latin American styles, Jazz, Electro and Pop.
