Instructors

Adnan Halabi

Founder — Production & Mixing

Founder of Halabi Studios. Fifteen years of records across Arabic pop, indie, and brand scoring. Teaches the fundamentals he wishes he'd been taught — signal flow, arrangement, and why less is almost always more.

Odai Halabi

Oud & Arabic Maqam

Oud player, composer, and the studio's in-house reference for Arabic maqam. Tours regionally, records session work, and runs the maqam track for students who want the theory under their fingers.

Sarah Mansour

Mix Engineer

Freelance mix engineer with credits across the GCC indie scene. Specialises in vocal-forward productions and translation-tested masters for streaming. Teaches mixing from a practical, session-by-session angle.

Karim Nasr

Performance Coach

Stage and in-ear performance coach who's worked festival main stages across the region. Teaches artists how to build a set that actually lands — pacing, transitions, and the mic technique nobody bothers to show you.

Layla Farouk

Vocal & Maqam Coach

Classical-trained vocalist turned coach. Blends Western vocal pedagogy with Arabic maqam — a rare combination that makes her the go-to for singers who work in both languages.
