Voice of NOMAD Music Panel Event

A ‘Voice of NOMAD’ music-focused panel session on whether ‘Sound is Associated to a Place?’ will be held on Saturday 12th October 2019 at Dubai Outlet Mall between 2-3.30pm. The discussion will see key opinion leaders and industry experts such as popular radio host Big Hass, Mike Fairburn, GM Sony Music Entertainment Middle East, singers Hamdan Al Abri and Omar Dean, homegrown producers and change-makers such as Mohammad Rayan Bailouni and Waleed Shah, share insights on how music and cultures intertwine and what is needed to grow the local music industry. 

In line with its mission to empower grassroots talent to scale to a global platform, NOMAD is running creative bootcamps during October-November with its industry-specific community ambassadors to offer youth and talent from music, film/content and gaming, the opportunity to enhance their skillsets and showcase through workshops, industry collaborations and event activations.  

As part of its comprehensive infrastructure roll-out, NOMAD will launch a Phase I venue at 117 Live Arena late 2019 with co-working spaces, a recording studio, content studios, an eSports studio and event spaces.
