From a family with a musical background, evolves an artist with natural musical talents, moving melodies and a brand new enchanting future in the music industry. At just the age of 12, MUNZUR was already exploring at the opportunity of creating melodies and stepping a foot into the doors of the musical world. 

Although, inspired by his father, MUNZUR moved on to become a Belgian DJ producer, producing music for many years. During the pandemic, he was very busy in the studio and wanted to try different things wanting to produce music inspired by his MiddleEastern roots. And here’s a tell on MUNZUR’s musical journey and an inside on his single release “Dangerous”

How did you get into writing/producing music. Do you remember that exact moment that just pushed you into this industry? 

‍

Coming from a Musical family I had a natural upbringing around music. My father has been composing for 40 years now and I think that I inherited this talent from him. When I was 12 years old I was already trying to create some melodies. It was something natural for me and I knew already I would follow in my father’s footsteps.

What kind of musical thoughts usually entertains in your mind (like what drives you to write music) where do you get your inspiration from?

‍

I am always having some melodies laying around in my head and when I really like one of them, I always record them on my phone and then I listen to them again few days later and sometimes I produce songs with those melodies. I am always positive person and I can get inspiration everywhere .

What’s the story behind your single release “Dangerous”. Any exclusives from behind the scenes you want to share?

‍

During the lockdown last 2 years, I was a lot in the studio and I decided to combine Dance / deep house sounds with ethnic instruments. Then Dangerous was the first song I made when I started to mix those sounds. The idea came to my mind super fast and then I sent the track to Helen and She wrote incredible lyrics and melodies. 

“Dangerous is the perfect combination of deep house sounds with Middle East tones. The deep bass thumping through track is guided by the wonderful voice of Helen and bewitching melodies of the oud & flute.”

Who’s one of your global favourite artists and what about them inspires you?

‍

I started to listen to electronic music with Daft Punk. I really loved their music and I was hearing something unique in their sound. After a few years I fell in love with progressive house & Melodic house music with Swedish House Mafia. I was feeling so much emotion in the crowd when they were playing live - I could say that is one moment I said to myself "I want to share and give the same emotion to the people and produce my own music".
