In this conversation, she shares her journey from architecture to music, explaining how her creative instincts and love for sound led her to become a DJ and producer known for blending Arabic roots with modern tech house grooves. Her breakout came in 2021 with her debut track, signed by the legendary Nervous Records, which unexpectedly launched her career into motion.   Amal reflects on her early fears of performing live, recalling her trembling hands during her first show and how pushing through that fear became transformative. She credits her dedication, discipline, and belief in finishing every project as key to her evolution as an artist. Her music, often inspired by emotion and nostalgia, channels both her cultural background and her personal experiences. Tracks like Burning embody her philosophy that music has the power to heal, uplift, and unite people beyond language barriers.   Discussing her process, Amal emphasizes living life as an essential ingredient for creativity. Yoga, paddle sports, and time with friends help her recharge and remain grounded. She believes consistency, self-discipline, and living in the moment are vital to sustaining happiness and artistic flow.   Looking ahead, Amal’s ambition continues to grow, from her Manifest events to sharing stages with icons like Carl Cox. Her message to fans is clear: keep creating, never give up, and always chase joy through your passion.   Topics 0:12 - Early influences, Body Language Festival, and first shows 2:02 - Love for 70s and 80s classics and the magic of timeless music 5:39 - Battling creative blocks and staying focused 9:02 - Transitioning from architecture to full-time music 11:46 - How her debut track and “Burning” shaped her career 15:12 - The universal emotion behind music and connection 19:33 - Family influences and performing at her parents’ wedding 22:55 - Long sets vs. festival sets and storytelling through sound 30:30 - Overcoming technical challenges and learning vinyl mixing 37:47 - Collaborations, Carl Cox, and staying inspired through change Connect with Amal Nemer Instagram:https://instagram.com/amal.nemer   About Amal Nemer - For Amal, music is the greatest treasure to which humanity has access to.  According to her, music is the most powerful and universal tool to connect minds, bodies, and souls.
