A studio for records, and the live shows that come out of them.
I'm Adnan. I trained as a mechanical engineer, then moved across to audio because that's what I wanted to spend my hours on. Halabi Studios is what grew out of that — a room I trust, a team I trust, and a stack of records that came out of both.
Started in 2019. Records first, then film scores, then live productions. Same studio, more work — and the team grew with it.
Three rooms in Al Majaz 2. Apollo through Pro Tools, Logic, or Ableton. A full mic locker — Neumann, AKG, Shure, Audio-Technica. We've cut ADR for Sony Pictures (Gran Turismo, 2023), scored Taj (2024) and Taht Sabe' Ard (2025), and put on ZHO and DGE.
Book the record, the show, or the shoot — you're working with the same people either way. Nothing's handed off.
When you need a player, I send a short list of names I'd put on my own session. No bidding race, no directory.
Hourly or packaged, quoted up front. No 'miscellaneous' line at the bottom of the invoice.
Sharjah, working UAE-wide and across the region. Arabic and English, maqam to pop.
A small senior team, with a wider roster of engineers and players on call. Odai runs the Arabic sessions and plays bass on a lot of what comes through — he's COO and in the room, not at a desk upstairs.
