Bio obtained with the artists permissions from ferasarrabi.com Feras Arrabi is a Jordanian Artist/Musician, based in Amman, Jordan He
was born on the 18th of September 1991 in Kuwait. Feras moved when he
was 18 years old to Jordan to pursue his BA degree in Management
Information Systems.
When he was 13 years old, he picked up the guitar for the first time. It was an old broken guitar that belonged to his father from when he was younger. At the time, Feras decided to give this Guitar the maintenance it needed and for the first time in his family, this neglected instrument changed his life forever. Feras’s music is influenced by his Middle Eastern culture and music of other cultures, which he was exposed to early on in his journey as a Guitar player. His compositions mainly fall under fusion and progressive rock/metal. After moving to Jordan, Feras met many musicians and performed with many bands. Albaitil Ashwai was his main band with the self-styled “Neo-Sufi” genre that combines local inspirations with rock arrangements. In 2018 Feras joined El Morabba3 collective project and has been their guitarist since then. Feras has also been hired as a session musician for various projects. Finally Feras is about to release his solo debut album “AL’ARRABI” which is an instrumental guitar album, a genre that’s not well spread in his region. He hopes to re-introduce it in his own style.
Since the beginning of his career, Feras has performed in the MENA
region (Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates,
Egypt) and in Europe, Germany. He also hopes to see more of the world
with the help of music. Link Image Link to album AL'ARRABI Other links:

Thank you for the suggestion! Between jazz fusion and progressive metal, which do you think describes Mr. Arrabi's music the best?

After consulting the artist, we believe jazz fusion better fits the description than progressive metal.

Welcome, aki, and thanks for your suggestion. If you change the thread header to include the Jazz-Rock/Fusion subgenre, the better chance a team member will pick him up for evaluation.
