Mâhfoud

Paint the colour of music on the sheet of silence. It is not what you hear but what remains hidden. Marc Mâhfoud is a vocalist, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer, international live act, DJ and producer. In 1992, Marc's parents migrated from Syria to Germany, where he spent most of his childhood and youth. Whilst visiting high school, Marc deepened his interest and education in classical guitar. After graduating from Bonn in 2009, he moved to the Netherlands to study Social Sciences at Maastricht University. This enabled Marc to couple his continually intensifying passion for art and music with multidimensional perspectives. Marc musically meanders between electronic, cinematic, (pitched down) dance music, soundscape and jazz. He plays piano, synthesizers, guitars and other instruments that create sonic vibration. His recent collaborations with Yamaha Music prove a rare musical versatility, both as composer and instrumentalist. Marc released on top labels such as Diynamic Music, Exploited and Get Physical. His latest development attempts to liaise (social) science and sound into an honest fusion of traditional instruments and electronically driven compositions. Even though his idea of sound is perpetually changing, he safeguards the impulse of constant reinvention and critical thinking. For that life is a journey and every encounter a new paradise.
