Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

W/ Tala Samman
Q: What catches you most during a concert, the performance itself or the music?
The overall experience is essential. If the artist interacts with the crowd and delivers a great live performance, it adds to the impact, even if I might not love their recorded music.
W/ Tala Samman
Q: How do you usually deal with the stress? Do you have sort of life hacks?
I've learned to separate my stress from others' and ensure everything is organized in preparation for gigs, which has helped me create a more relaxed atmosphere during performances.
W/ Tala Samman
Q: Do you think that UAE vibe influenced your music taste somehow?
I am Arab and I appreciate everything Middle Eastern as I grew older, including music and culture. I started recognizing my roots and now feel proud to be an Arab.
W/ Tala Samman
Q: How did you start teaching?
I had so many friends that were part of the music industry, and I felt like I always spent so much time in the studio. I thought it would be fun to learn how to DJ, and I took classes on vinyl but got intimidated at first. Eventually, I took a master class which reignited my passion.
W/ Khlood Kibeda
Q: What do you think about the love timeline?
I believe love can last way beyond 5 years if nurtured and accepted through changes.
