![]() ![]() If you’re seeing this, do it too, find a tablah and do something cool with it, have fun, the world is yours. This is what I think any Saudi artist can do, honestly forget me, maybe I’m the first, but I don’t want to be the last. A sound that you would normally need five heavy metal electric guitars to make, comes out of one string from an oud, that’s our power. And then, when it hits the low note of the oud, it’s like the ground opens up. In Disco Cowboy, it starts with this light, almost hypnotic music, the tonality that you get out of that is impossible to get from a western instrument like a guitar. I swear I broke it with a pencil and book in my apartment, and then I hooked it up with some microphones attached it to some pedals like a guitar pedal and even a bass pedal cause you know, why not, and then I heard a sound that I’ve never heard in my life. And we’re the young generation, let’s be innovative, let’s figure out something new that we can claim as our own, we’re Generation Z, and whatever comes after it, I don’t care what it’s called, just make it your own thing, see a door, break it. ![]() Being from here, I’ve grown up with this music that everyone looks at as exotic and I don’t like that. And not just any oud, I’m not doing the thing that a lot of American-Arab artists I see, like they would take a bunch of instruments and force it into the music because now the Arab thing is becoming a hot thing and everyone wants to be Arab, like do something original man. ![]() I mean like Disco Cowboy, for example, the song has three instruments, literally just drums, bass and oud. What’s On: How would you describe your particular style of music? Like what the country is doing is amazing and I’m glad to be a small part of it. And that makes you be like, oh that’s what a Saudi can look like, that’s what a Saudi can sound like, and that’s what a Saudi can do, and you have these beautiful places, I wanna go. So it gives you a connection to not only the music, and here’s the best part, but also the person behind it, it’s a human being, a real human being behind this music and that is connection. What can we do with music, why is it different? It spreads way faster than an advertisement, the people spread it for you, and it connects people emotionally. It’s not like a tourist location, like a tourist location you look at and think I could go there or I could go to every other tourist location. It’s not only that it goes around and it bridges cultures, it’s not only that it will make you be like what’s Saudi Arabia, where’s this guy from, or where is this. And that’s not even me putting it out, that’s people taking it and sampling it like producers from the US and Korea, a huge part of my fan base is Korean actually.Ī post shared by Mishaal Tamer مشعل think the smartest thing the country has done is lift this ban on music, because nothing in this world spreads as fast as music and connects the way music does. So I didn’t even show my face, I posted it on an anonymous account called Papa Misho and it’s still my account now, but we changed the name, like a 10-second long video, and now Subhanallah like 200 million streams across the globe. And I was even too shy, no one in my family was like yeah Mishaal, be a musician, you know it was like do Computer Science, that was my thing. Like if you go on my Instagram and you keep scrolling, scrolling to the very beginning, my first post was done right after they lifted the music ban, like literally right after. What’s On: How do you feel being the first pop artist in Saudi Arabia? Since then, Tamer has gone on to release his debut EP in 2020 called Life’s a Ride and major singles like Superman, Cigarette, and Look Into My Eyes (Wallahi) and even toured alongside major international sensations One Republic as part of their tour.
