daoud

The problem child of jazz who refuses to play by jazz's rules, daoud imagines a music driven by a sense of inadequacy - one that disrupts conventions without seeking approval, resonating equally with curious newcomers and seasoned purists.

His work is charged with a persistent tension: between playfulness and gravity, chaos and tenderness, irony and sincerity. With ok, his upcoming album to be released by ACT in 2025, he delivers a personal manifesto shaped by collapse and repetition - but also by the perseverance required to begin again.

Around the music, the artist crafts a raw visual universe, marked as much by provocation as by youthful abandon, a return to childhood not for comfort, but to unearth contradictions. Fragility, impermanence, satire - his aesthetic embraces the flaw rather than concealing it.
