An international music star, his past credits include touring with Sting in 2000, performing at the Grammys on the hit single Desert Rose, as well as performing and recording with countless Arab stars.. His drum solos with the Bellydance Superstars are major features of each show, as captured in the films American Bellydancer, The Bellydance Superstars Live in Paris and Solos from Monte Carlo.
