From Beirut to Cairo, the sound of the region changed thanks to their experimental nature. Genres were merged together and Arab heritage, with all its diversity, was incorporated into their tunes and lyrics.

The music industry’s revival continues, as its digital transformation creates new opportunities for merchandising, personalization, improved audio quality, getting artists paid, and even a change in how vinyl records are made.

Says he, “To get into the eyes of big music producers or directors, you have to make yourself visible!” No matter how talented you are, unless and until your talent doesn’t pop up while people scroll their newsfeeds on social media, you will lag behind in the race.” He adds, “While some people might roll their eyes at the digital ads that scroll before their favorite streamed shows or throughout their social media feeds, it’s important to note that advertising yourself in those ads is a crucial part of doing business and boosting popularity.”
In the music industry, to survive without any pre-existing backing is tough as they rightly say, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough gets going’.
