Biography:
Fady Ferraye has not had a normal upbringing for an artist. Born in Beirut, he began collecting vinyl at the age of 10, with the Lebanese civil war as a backdrop, mastering his skills back in the 80s in one of the city’s bomb shelters. Back then, Beirut was similar to Berlin pre-1990; dark, divided, and insecure. It was no easy start for a musician’s career that would one day take him across the world for high-profile gigs, in The Netherlands, Lebanon, India, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Qatar, Armenia, Syria, Jordan, Greece, Bahrain, Dubai, Romania, Turkey, Serbia, France…. Fady has truly delivered the message that the Middle East is not only a place of war, but a place of musical expression and a hotbed of creativity. After years of spinning in the vibrant but at times troubled Middle East, Fady felt the time was right to take the plunge to move to a European dance music epicentre, Amsterdam, away from the domestic troubles in his native country.
