1. Born in 9/9/1976
Family members are artists; Father and Brother are
photographers. Uncles and Aunts as well, but i was the first
musician.
I began playing Piano at age of seven...it was a coincidence. "I
started to play using just the white keys for 2 years...then decided
to attend lessons on how to use the full keys and separate
between the playing by the left hand and the right one. At the age
of 14 he was oriented to different types of music and decided to
take it as career.
At the age of 18, and after he finished his high school, he joined
the Faculty of Musical Education and took his interest a further
step.
He met with Ousso, Nagham Masry's guitarist a year earlier, and
together they shared their infatuation of music, tunes, and
harmonies. they never knew that the following years would
witness the manifestation of their successful music dream, the
Nagham Masry project. Ousso was 15 at that time. Experimenting
their tunes, they spent years enhancing their talents and
experiencing new musical domains...hoping that these times
never end.
By then Budds realized the talent he was blessed with ...
composing. While Studying, he composed music for 12
graduation projects at the Cinema Institute. Then, for 3 years, he
composed titres and soundtracks for programs at the Nile
Specialized Channels, independent movies,
like "Habbet Sokkar", and Commercials. Since then, composing

we try to produce a new taste through our music to help rescue
the arabic song from this poor level of music and this occurs by
new forms,structure, egyptian melodies, modern theory and
styles through different instruments.we put our vision in
arranging our songs and through our taste we go to the
conclusion.
we hope people love our music to keep on going.........
