Sleiman Damien

Sleiman Damien is a Beirut-based Lebanese music producer, DJ, and audio engineer who's making waves in the Arab pop scene with his killer fusion of mainstream hits and indie vibes. Starting out messing around on his grandparents' old piano and diving into metal and jazz as a teen, he switched to production after getting music software and riding Lebanon's trance wave, eventually crafting chart-toppers for icons like Assi El Hellani, Haifa Wehbe, Georges Wassouf, Nassif Zeytoun, and Abeer Nehme—think massive tracks like "Sahranine" with Carole Samaha or "Bala Ma Nhess."

He's all about blurring lines, working with rising stars like Zef, Rizan Said, and Dana Hourani while experimenting with EDM, electronic sounds, and global influences to keep things fresh for Arab audiences. Lately, he's dropped collabs like "Ya Zarif" with Nai Barghouti, blending longing vocals with bass-heavy beats, and he's eyeing hip-hop and his own artist releases next.
