His music blends traditional Palestinian sounds with contemporary influences, creating a unique and emotionally powerful musical experience.

His live shows are known for their authenticity, emotional range, and rich musical arrangements. He is a fast-rising star of the Middle East with 40,000 + followers on his social media accounts and over a million youtube views.

THE CURRENT GULF WAR With the war on Iran it's not possible to guarantee his arrival. But the promoters have bought flight tickets in strong faith that all is going ahead.

Zaid's UK Tour in 2025 was a big hit, taking in Bristol's Cotham Club, Elementary Festival, Glastonbury Festival and London's Jamboree Club amongst others. Audiences were very moved.

Here's a quote from Elementary Festival:

"There are moments when music becomes more than sound, it becomes collective prayer. This set at Elementary Festival deserves its own story. When Zaid took the stage, his voice carried more than melody, it carried memory, longing, resistance, and love. As we chanted back “Hala lala layya” with him, we weren’t just singing we were remembering. Rooted in ancient folk song, these words echo a love so powerful it would be "written on birds’ wings. Carried by wind. Etched in tears" In that moment, we sang not just for one another, but for all who long to be free. For Palestine. For the ones whose songs are interrupted. For the voices that rise even when silenced. It was joy... It was resistance. It was ancestral rhythm meeting modern grief. And it was holy. May we keep singing. May we never forget. May our voices carry around the world. How wonderfully blessed to be present with this" Maggie
