He has worked with many prominent artists including Soap Kills, The New Government, Katibe5, Shiftz, Hiba Mansouri, and his own project Zeid and the Wings (and recently Marie Abou Khaled, Tanjaret Daghet, and others. In 2019, Hamdan produced the score for the Oscar nominated film Caparnaum by Nadine Labaki. In July 2011, Hamdan was arrested for a song “General Go Home” deemed insulting to then-president Michel Suleiman, a former army chief.

Lynn Adib is a Syrian singer born in Damascus, where she was initiated at a very young age into Byzantine singing as part of the “Choir of Joy” of the Church of Our Lady of Damascus. While studying flute at the National Conservatory of Damascus, she discovered jazz and was seduced by its freedom and complexity, thus embarking on a musical adventure bringing traditional Arabic music (maqam), religious songs of ancient Syria, and jazz together.

Lynn Adib and Zeid Hamdan have just initiated a project where they can blend their ideas and produce some delicious tracks. This project is called Bedouin Burger.
