I have been playing classical violin since childhood and started composing three years ago.  In Dubai, I am a member of ECSO orchestra playing second violin.
 
Composition has always been a strong passion from a very long time ago.   My profession, as an architect, did not allow me the time to start writing music until I could no longer resist the flow of ideas and melodies that had been accumulating in my head.  
 
I find architecture and music interwind from the philosophical standpoint. Where an architect uses mass and void in proportion, a composer uses sound and silence the same.

I composed Breath Of Love in celebration of my son's wedding in February 2020.
