Amer Chamaa

Amer Chamaa is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist from Lebanon, born into a family of visual artists. Known for his mastery of stringed instruments, especially the guitar, oud, and buzuq, he has expanded his musical repertoire to include Middle Eastern wind instruments such as the ney and duduk. With a deep involvement in electronic music, both as a DJ and producer, Amer has cultivated a unique sound that blends influences from diverse cultures. In 2023, Amer ventured into visual art, picking up painting despite having no prior experience. Being the son of a painter and a photographer, his decision was fuelled by a desire to approach art with a childlike sense of wonder and discovery. This new pursuit has taught him invaluable lessons, and he hopes his time spent painting will help him approach music with a fresh, even more intuitive perspective. Across his varied artistic disciplines, Amer Chamaa continues to explore the intersection of tradition, innovation, and culture, using his creative work as a bridge to connect the world through music and art.
