Isam Elias Live

Isam Elias is a Palestinian pianist, composer, singer, and songwriter. Deeply influenced by traditional Arab music from an early age, he began playing the piano at just six years old. His music is a journey through Western production styles and rhythms, placing the piano at the forefront alongside synthesizers, Afro-Oriental dance grooves, and touches of dancehall. Blending Eastern folk melodies with powerful electronic textures and the infectious rhythms of Middle Eastern dabkeh, Isam creates a distinctive sound that bridges tradition and contemporary dance music. In June 2025, he released his debut EP, TUBES. The five-track project evolved from Isam's live performances, translating the energy and spontaneity of the stage into recorded form. Combining piano, synthesizers, electronic rhythms, and vocals, TUBES is rooted in improvisation and reflects Isam's signature Afro-electronic sound, seamlessly connecting live musicianship with modern dance and melodic influences.
