Ziyad Al-Samman is your new favourite habibi music maker. Brought up in Amman, Jordan and now living deep in London’s belly he’s been quietly brewing his psychedelic-disco-pop and crafting his tales of friendships, love and his place in the world.

Crooning vocals sit over poppy synth and swooning guitars to create an upbeat psychedelic-disco-pop sound with a middle Eastern flavour and a dreamy sound that nods towards the early rock and roll of Roy Orbison and Edwin Collins.

We recently saw Ziyad at last year’s Sŵn Festival, his live performance is fun with a capital F and really will make you walk away with a smile on your face, a Deer Shed artist down to a T.
