Hi! 👋🏽

I’m a Philadelphia-born and based musician and producer. I was gifted my first guitar by my grandfather—an OG jazz musician on the local scene. Since then, music has been my passion and craft. I went on to learn every instrument I could get my hands on, and eventually studied music technology, recording techniques, and synthesizers in college.

After building a grassroots online following from my first apartment, I self-released an EP ‘Daydreams.’ Shortly thereafter, I went on to release two albums (‘Hollow Moon’ and ‘Swim, Simian’) on vinyl and cassette with record label Mystery Circles. I have collaborated with a number of fellow electronic musicians and contributed to compilations by Inner Ocean Records and Mystery Circles, as well as performing within our beloved little community.

I am currently taking work composing for film, video games, music libraries, commercials, and more. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about my work or working together!

Looking for plug-ins? Read about them here (FAQ).

Beyond my own work, I create and release plug-ins as Aqeel Aadam Sound as well. As I grow and develop on my own artistic journey, I believe in disseminating what I've learned to other composers and musicians as well, and helping to foster the health of the art world as a whole.
