Nayoo

Born and raised in the bustling streets and ancient echoes of Amman, He has drawn inspiration from the city's vibrant musical tapestry, Nayoo aka 8ight is a Music Producer, Songwriter, and Founder of Khawa Records and Co-Founder of Zee7 Hip-Hop Collective in Amman.

Nayoo's music is a reflection of Amman's urban soundscapes, where synthesizers blend with Middle Eastern melodies to create hypnotic tracks that bridge the gap between tradition and innovation.

With the drums and percussions of Sham, the groovy acid basslines in between the electronic breaks and jungle rhythms, a touch of the local satiety world of 90s folk synths, and by deconstructing the noises and the social context of Amman neighborhoods he managed to present a perspective and a feeling of the Sham experience
