Bio:
Music and art are tools of belonging and resistance for me. As a descendant of Palestinian refugees, my creative work is deeply rooted in survival, memory, and identity. I use my culture not just as inspiration, but as a lifeline, something that helps me keep existing in a world that often tries to erase us. Through sound, picture, and story, I hold onto what’s been passed down and create space for what’s still to come.

Show Description:
When words start to loose their meaning, music becomes the language of the misunderstood. The universal script that has the ability to tie us all together. 

How we can use sound as a vehicle to explore new ways of connecting & finding common ground with one another. Finding a new sense of belonging within ourselves? 
This show is dedicated to the spaces that made me feel closer to home. The tunes that whispered to my heart, I’m not alone. That reminded me of all the smiles & warm faces I’ve encountered. The melodies that held my heart in its embrace. 
This is a tribute to those songs that transport me to moments & memories. Music is such a unifying place of creation & inspiration, - yet sometimes consistently becoming the instrument of such pleasure can lead to a path of loneliness. 
A deep sense of a loss of connection. Feeling disconnected from people, from feeling, from a reality. It begs me to ask,
What is connection without touch? Without feeling? Without play?? Does it have meaning without compassion & tenderness? 
Music has brought me back to this seat of compassion, - reminded me to look around with a new lens.

It’s softened my spikey edges, - reminded my body what it means to playyy. 

It’s allowed me to explore new ways of being - challenging spaces of comfortability within myself.

The Book of 43

"My creative journey began in high school when I was 15 as 1/3 of the musical collective TresAlgo, at this time I was purely a writer and lyricist...

As time went by I learnt how to make beats while recording more frequently, music quickly became one with my soul and I started thinking of ways to build a career around it... 

I went on to study sound engineering in the City, this is when I got my first glimpse of the scene and dove into it... 

TresAlgo eventually dispersed as life happened and I continued my journey from there with a close friend of mine by the name of Gemii. We dove much deeper into the scene than before until life happened again, so I decided to take a haitus from music to focus on general life and gather information... 

I've now returned to continue the next chapter... 

The story continues..."

How would your version of a sonic cocoon sound like? 🦋

Together with @liliesradio and @nappystudioza , we’re exploring the beauty of sonic cocooning — where music becomes a refuge, a space to return to yourself. 

Wynton Marsalis once said: “Music is always for the listener, but the first listener is the player.”
In a world that often overlooks the beauty of raw creativity it’s not always easy to access the version of yourself that’s only focusing on what YOU want to play and listen to. But that’s where real creativity lives: in the moments where you’re not performing, but simply being.

This guest mix show aims to emphasize the use of music and sound as a means of comfort and intimacy, similar to how a cocoon provides protection and a nurturing environment for transformation.

Tune in!
