BalaFeesh is an independent publishing and live music platform in the Arab music scene. We showcase original sounds from independent artists & songwriters from the Arab world. Our focus areas are: live performances, music curation, and publishing. We like to think beyond conventional industry standards when it comes to supporting artist careers, focusing on collaboration within local & global music communities.
BalaFeesh started out as the first concert series of its kind in the MENA region, launching a concert series ‘BalaFeesh Presents’ with a unique curation of local, regional, and international lineups and collaborations. We've hosted six seasons of the BalaFeesh Presents between 2013 and 2019, hosting 45 emerging and established Arab artists from 9 countries, in Amman, Jordan. You can check out our online library of 140+ published videos of a selection of these performances and collaborations.
Our workshops and outreach programs have included music production, management, and mentorship initiatives with academic institutions, bringing together networks of artists and music professionals & experts from around the world. We've also incubated creative projects and experimental projects, with a focus on strengthening female representation in the industry across different fields. In 2024, we are launching our publishing services for independent songwriters, artists, and labels.
