Where you from?
I’m Lebanese but I lived all my life in Kuwait as a resident.

How long have you ben in Dubai and how does it compare to home?
Kuwait is too limited for DJ's & dubai is one of the best night life scenes all around, I started to DJ in dubai around 5 years ago I kept on comin to DJ & goin back home & so on.

What do you do and where do you do it?
I’m a DJ, Singer, Song Writer & producer, I work as a resident DJ in Boudoir & of course I also practise what I do at home too, known as a remixer mostly who brings the best english hits & remix them with the best arabic & international hits got plenty of CDs I made as DJ cRoW like if u google me u'd be surprised of how many Middle Eastern websites have got my music, but thats more to CD's I compose to be published & recognized but what I play in Boudoir ? is much less arabic & more into what I love the most not what I had to do to get known & published more :)

What styles of music do you play? Do you like to mix up your genres?
kinds of music I play, I have been DJ-ing for 12 years in a country that has too many different tastes of music mostly commercial from all kinds of english music to the best arabic & international tunes, but I’m an R&B & Hip Hop main DJ I could say, old school to new school, also love tribal & deep house as also house keeps changing every few years now everybody switched to electro I also like it too.

How did you get involved in music and DJ-ing?
i play the piano & sing since I was a kid, then started workin as a part time job when I was a kid during high school in recordings in few music stores back home, in 1996 started mixing & DJing.

Did you have a musical childhood. What’s your earliest memory of hearing music? In the womb, perhaps? Do you remember what track it was?
Of course, was raised listening to music like Keith Sweat, R Kelly, Babyface, Boyz II Men, Joe Thomas .... etc, can't just remember one favourite song there are too many in a DJ's mind :)

What were the first records you ever bought? (Do you still have them?)
mmmmmmmm ... vinyl was too hard to find back home, but 1st original CD's would be Dr Dre's Chronic album, Snoop Dogg’s 1st, R Kelly's 1st albums, Keith Sweat, Jodeic and, I don't know why, but it's like most ppl had to have an original copy of Metallica's black album :)) thats a classic 4 sure & I sure still do have them back home.

Are you still a vinyl junkie or CD / laptop man?
I’m still doin both, CD's at work & CDs & vinyl at home here.

So you’re at Boudoir now. How’s that going?
Boudoir is one of the best club leading places in town, I’m lovin it cuz it's always packed with people who appreciate music to the max.

Do you have any other favourite venues in Dubai?
mmmmmmmm there are many good places around, but if u'd ask me to be honest not bcuz I work in boudoir but I love being there in general & I also can't wait for club bang to open cuz I have checked out the place & been there for few times to say hi & it's just amazing!

What about around the world? What are your favourite clubbing destinations?
I DJed in 10 countries, I love dubai, london & many places but my favourite club scene is Lebanon in the summer time.

What’s next for you? Any big plans for the future?
for now I’m doin great as a DJ so I’m stickin around with it for the time being but my next plan would be workin on my own solo albums which i have already made few underground r&b tracks of mine with a little arabic touch in it just to show where I come from & hopefully soon i'll take it from the underground to the public.

Crow spins his blended beats regularly at Boudoir. Go check him out and say Hi. He’s definitely something to crow about (pun intended, despite not being funny)
