I am a Syrian-Norwegian activist who’s based in Oslo. Growing up, I’ve learned
to consider the Palestinian case as it is my own . The last 7 months has been
devastating for me. As a person who experienced the brutality of the Syrian
regimes aggression against its own people in Syria back in 2011, I know how it
feels when the whole world is watching the mass killing of your innocent people
without doing anything to stop it. I want it to do what I expected others to do
when I was living under the brutal circumstances similar to what our families in
Gaza are going through. I am not an artist, neither good at writing stuff, In fact I
work in tech. My journey with music started last year after creating a cover for
an islamic song for Maher Zain who inspires me. But I am also a big fan of using
art to cast light on important matters and be the voice for the oppressed
people. I wanted to use my voice to tell the world about how it feels to be
witnessing live broadcasted genocide, while the leaders are doing nada to stop
it. The last months I participated in a lot of activities to support the Palestinian
case, I sang Palestinian songs in demonstrations, and in the streets, and I
participated in a writing workshop for Slam Poetry. I wrote my feelings down, I
then asked musicians who stands on the right side of history if we can turn it to
a song. I was lucky to meet Birk Bream who was very interested in the idea and
we started working on it immediately. We are very happy about our song and
hope all free souls will like it.
