_____________________________
I've been actively working in the music industry for over 10 years now. My journey started with co-founding a record label based in Beirut, "Let's Play Records". We funded, managed and supported a new wave of contemporary artists from the MENA region - such as Hello Psychaleppo (and his album HA!) and Tanjaret Daghet, to name a few. My career then shifted towards focusing on independent music projects, and my artistry (being a singer/artist myself).
Today I manage AYN (aka Aya Nasif) one of the freshest leading Techno DJs & Producers from the Middle East. In parallel to managing AYN, I've released music with AYN as Yasmine D. - including "I Contact - AYN Feat. Yasmine D." and a 4-track EP "NXT CHPTR - AYN Feat. Yasmine D.", with new music expected to release in 2024. AYN and I are also the co-founders of ETM (Escape Through Music) - a music platform that encourages diversity, unity, and freedom through electronic experiences and pop-up events.
