“Applying elite classical speed and discipline to the raw power of Rock and the rich modal tapestries of Oriental fusion.”

Biography & Artistic Shift
Born in Lebanon, Fakiha, my musical current took root at the age of 8. For nine intensive years, I honed my artistic expression and technical command under classical guidance at the prestigious Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music, completing all critical academic years of study.
While my youth was dedicated to mastering complex classical phrasing and mechanical structure, my vision has evolved. Traditional recitals are behind me; my true artistic drive is focused on channeling my powerhouse conservatory technique into Rock and Oriental music.
I bring an absolute command of key independence, rapid runs, and advanced harmony to live setups—aiming to elevate synth solos, progressive rock riffs, and microtonal oriental arrangements to a virtuosic level.

Dexterity & Agility Peak
Navigating Liszt's famous romantic masterwork represents the absolute pinnacle of my mechanical development.
I share this performance to demonstrate the extreme hand independence, lightning-fast double cadenzas, and expressive touch that I now bring straight to modern synthesizer soundscapes and fast-tempo rock or oriental lines.
