Zeid Hamdan

Zeid Hamdan is a Lebanese music producer. He was referred to as one of 8 leading lights in Lebanese culture by CNN. He has worked with many leading artists including, Soap Kills, The New Government, Katibe5, Shiftz, Hiba Mansouri, Kanjha Kora, Kazamada, Maryam Saleh, Maii Waleed, Dany Baladi, Zeid and the Wings (his own project) and recently Marie Abou Khaled, Tanjaret Daghet, Muhammad Abdullah from EL MORRABA3 and Lynn Adib.[citation needed]

In July 2011, Hamdan was arrested, reportedly for political sedition. He was detained over a song deemed insulting to President Michel Suleiman, a former army chief. Slandering the president carries a maximum two-year sentence in Lebanon. Officials reportedly took exception to the lyrics: 'General go home'. He was released the day after, and was told to "go home".

When the 2019 financial crisis hit Lebanon, Zeid Hamdan was about to release “the Beit Project” a collaboration with Tanjaret Daghet, Muhammad Abdullah from the Band “ El Morabba3” and himself. The project was due to be launched on 19 October, but demonstrations started on October 17, marking the beginning of the uprising in Lebanon.

At that period Zeid Hamdan had started to collaborate with Lynn Adib. They would meet regularly and record demos at Zeid's studio “Lebanese Underground Studio” in Geitawi, Beirut.

During this period the pandemic started worldwide and the lockdowns were an opportunity for Zeid to focus on the production work with Lynn Adib.

On April 30, 2020, they launched their first single “Taht el Ward” then a second single in June 2021 called “Ya man HAWA”.

He worked on Elie Saab film directed by Mounia AKL  “The sacred source” released on Sept 10th working remotely with musicians Marc Codsi and Jeremie Reinier.

In September 2020 Zeid met singer songwriter Jeanne Humbert and they remotely recorded a remix of “Ana Be3chak El Bahr”. This collaboration would lead them to create a band with singer Celine Khoury called “Abaya Road”.
