Curating Sonic Identities for Brands and Art Exhibitions
I don't believe in generic background music. I craft precise sonic landscapes that connect your brand or art installation to the right audience.

An iconic piece of Andy Warhol's art. For this event, my set included tracks from artists connected to Warhol's world, like The Velvet Underground and David Bowie, to create an immersive experience.

About Brand & Art Collaborations
When I curated the music for the Andy Warhol 'Glam Factory' exhibition in Dubai, the brief wasn't just to play tracks. It was about digging into The Velvet Underground and David Bowie, the sounds that defined that era, to create a set that felt like a living part of the art history on the walls. My process for every brand activation starts with that same deep-dive research to ensure the music reflects your narrative.
Great events are about the energy in the room. If you are launching a product or hosting a gallery opening, the music isn't just noise, it is part of the furniture. I work with brands to ensure the sonic identity complements the visual aesthetic, whether that is a high-energy Royal Enfield activation or a sophisticated art launch.
The Process
I don't show up with a pre-made playlist. My approach involves:
- Deep Research: I study your brand history, the venue context, and the specific vibe of the event to build a custom set.
- Seamless Integration: For luxury environments, I use a minimalist setup with concealed cabling, so the equipment blends into the room rather than taking it over.
- Cultural Curation: I focus on music that moves people without drowning out the conversation. My style leans into art-pop, ambient, and soulful selections that keep the energy refined.
Why It Works
Authentic music builds trust. When guests hear a set that feels intentionally chosen, they stay longer and connect more deeply with the event. I have worked with partners like G-Shock and Royal Enfield to ensure their events sound as good as they look. If you have an event coming up, let's talk about the soundscape.
