Time Out Dubai - "...there’s a certain maturity to Awad’s coming of age contemplation, which mixes classic 1970s Cat Stevens/Paul Simon-esque songwriting with more modern indie quirks and soaring harmonies. Like all good wordsmiths, we can only see Awad’s talents growing in subsequent releases."

Discord Music Magazine: "ADAM AWAD is a half English, half Egyptian acoustic, folk singer + songwriter. His musical influences are Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes, and jazz – all of these inspirations can be found in his unique sound and penetrating lyrics."

I started spinning in 2014 and have been teaching what I have learnt all through the journey.

By March 2016 I started working on my Spinning school, where we are going to be sharing knowledge of poi, staff, magic acts, juggling and anything related to street art.

I started performing live in May 2016 in the Ninja Warriors event that took place in Sahl Hasheesh and the the team consisted of 10 LED spinners and 3 fire Spinners and one assistant to make sure we documented our first team performance achievement.

And ever since I participated in this event and I started to receive gigs all around the Middle East.

El Dor El Awal started with a jam between Ahmed Omar and Mohamed Samy. The two of them created a few tunes and decided to form a band, which would play music, original music, its own music. Omar got his two friend Bob and Mizo who played with him in another band called Wust El Balad. And Samy got Naïssam, the French-Syrian girl he met playing with Fathi Salama, Nour, a friend from Alexandria and Fadi an old friend of his.

They began rehearsing in this cute flat on the first floor of a building, playing day and night for six months, to build a repertoire for el Dor El Awal. They were almost living together in this flat playing and searching for a personal sound, far from the considerations of the Egyptian musical market. They felt they were pouring their souls out on that first floor. So they decided to actually call the band El Dor El Awal that literally means the first floor in Egyptian dialect.

El Dor El Awal is not your typical Egyptian band. Even its formation is unusual. Two percussionists that play an original set with bongos, congas, kakhon, tabla and elements from the drums, a keyboard that uses a piano sound as well as electronic effects to add colors to the music. And finally a flute, a violin, and a saxophone, that create a very particular brass section.

Blending in their different musical backgrounds and adding each their personal touch, El Dor El Awal have truly succeeded on creating their own personal style and constantly delivering some fresh tunes that make their way straight into the hearts of the audience.

Sherbini’s greatly fascinated by sound design and the live element, hence his live shows are always a conceptual journey of sound and light. Following the release of his debut EP Fairchile, Sherbini toured Europe along with the KIK with an audio visual show that followed the EP’s artwork concept.
