My story

My name is Hadi Al-Homsi, a percussionist and singer, born in Damascus. Music has always been a big part of my life. I started out playing percussion and later began singing and exploring other instruments. In 2010, I joined the Syrian Artists Union. After that, I played with many well-known artists from the Arab music scene. Those were important moments for me, and I learned a lot from them.

I enjoy combining different styles. That’s why I started my own Latin band and later a Spanish group as well. In Dubai, I performed as a singer and percussionist, often alongside a DJ. I still incorporate that mix of live music and DJing into what I do.

My input in the orchestra

I play the darbuka and riq, among other instruments, and I also sing. My main goal is to bring energy and rhythm to the orchestra. What I love most is when the audience joins in and we really make music together.
