RE-VOLT RADIO INTERVIEWS : DR.DAHLIA WASFI (An Activist with Passionate Voice)


I first came across Dr. Dahlia Wasfi from one of the posts that Lowkey put on his page. I looked her up and listened to her work. She is brilliant & a strong voice we all got to support.

She is an Iraqi/American Activist that decided to put her Medical Career on hold & speak up against the War in Iraq & other US military activity.

I had a great discussion with Dr. Dahlia on her decision to stop her medicine career, her thoughts on Arab Leaders, situation in Iraq & her opinion on how the Arabic Hip Hop movement is crucial in all this.

In my opinion, she is saving lives now; but in another way!
In Solidarity! I want to thank Dr. Dahlia for her time to come on Re-Volt Radio. Big up to Lowkey for introducing me.

RE-VOLTING THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS: MC PHOTOGRAPHY

About a couple of weeks ago. I got a call from Mokhtar Chahine, a Saudi Photographer that lives in Jeddah. I have interviewed him before but for another website..Mashalla the kid is talented & definitely has a big potential with his passion for photography.

The reason for the call was to invite me for a photo-shoot to his idea "The Pink Project" and basically it is to show support to the Breast Cancer Society which is definitely something I was honored to be part of.

Mokhtar's approach towards the whole thing is to show support from all kind of angles, shapes, age & gender. It was a really fun shoot and I salute people like Mokhtar that decided to REVOLT with their talent & spread positive vibe messages across the globe.

Good luck my brother & thank you for making me part of this.
Stay Revolted.

RE-VOLT RADIO INTERVIEWS : TANIA KASSIS

Tania Kassis is a Lebanese singer that started singing at the age of 16 & performed her first solo opera concert at 17.

I first saw her perform at the 6th Francophone Games that was held in Beirut, Lebanon. She performed a track that bridged Islamic & Christian cultures together.

Its a beautiful track/gesture from Tania that proves music is a universal language, also given the fact that she was raised in Beirut and this is what Beirut sounds like being it consists of both religions. For me its the culture of Beirut in 1 track..

I salute Tania for having the will to do such a track..Much respect.

I had a great chat/Interview with Tania about this track & her thoughts on commercialism of FM Radio.

You can check out Tania's new CD "Oriental Colors"
