My Dear Friends! I’ve been quiet for a reason. Behind the silence was a work that’s deeply personal and necessary. Today, I’m proud to finally share with you: "Obsidian Tempo" A journey through the life lived between the artistic and corporate world, the light, darkness, and sacrifices of playing in bands, surviving the August 4th, 2020 blast, love, heartbreak, and Lebanon’s pulse from abroad. This is my story. I hope it will speak and resonate with yours.

"Obsidian Tempo" will be published and released in all bookstores across Lebanon through Dar Saer Al Mashrek Publishing House starting October 1rst! For international readers, both the paperback and E-book editions will be available for purchase online soon. Exciting announcements are coming your way, including details about the release/signing event in Beirut that will take place on October 11th to be announced in the coming Few days!!
