Ziyad Al-Samman façonne une disco pop psychédélique aux accents indie et électro, nourrie par ses racines syruennes et jordaniennes et ses influences allant de Prince à Gorillaz. Basé à Londres, ce crooner solaire et mélancolique mêle lignes de basse dansantes, synthés bondissants et voix habitées pour explorer l’amour, l’identité et l’amitié. Sur scène comme en studio, il insuffle une énergie brute et exaltée, entre euphorie pop et spleen romantique. Son premier EP Pleasure Complex en est le concentré vibrant.
Ziyad Al-Samman is a London-based Syrian-Jordanian artist whose psychedelic disco-pop radiates energy, emotion, and retro charm. Drawing from a wide palette of influences — from Bowie and Iggy Pop to Amr Diab and Gorillaz — his EP Pleasure Complex blends burning synths, driving basslines, and raw vocal expressiveness. Whether channeling heartbreak, euphoria, or nostalgia, Ziyad’s crooner soul and electrifying live presence invite us into a vibrant world where melancholy meets movement, and where dance is a remedy for everyday dullness.
Arriving in the UK at 12, Ziyad carries a borderless musicality rooted in family road trips, late-2000s indie, and the pulse of Arab pop. Tracks like Ya Habibi, Bang, and This Love capture his signature fusion of oriental disco-pop and poetic fervor, always backed by bouncing synths and infectious grooves. Pleasure Complex is a danceable ode to identity, love, and longing — a stroboscopic escape that feels both deeply personal and wildly universal.
