Zeid Hamdan

Zeid Hamdan is a Lebanese music producer. He was referred to as one of 8 leading lights in Lebanese culture by CNN. He has worked with many leading artists including, Soap Kills, The New Government, Katibe5, Shiftz, Hiba Mansouri, Kanjha Kora, Kazamada, Maryam Saleh, Maii Waleed, Dany Baladi, Zeid and the Wings and recently Marie Abou Khaled, Tanjaret Daghet, Muhammad Abdullah from EL MORRABA3 and Lynn Adib. In July 2011, Hamdan was arrested, reportedly for political sedition. He was detained over a song deemed insulting to President Michel Suleiman, a former army chief. Slandering the president carries a maximum two-year sentence in Lebanon. Officials reportedly took exception to the lyrics: 'General go home'. He was released the day after, and was told to "go home". When the 2019 financial crisis hit Lebanon, Zeid Hamdan was about to release “the Beit Project” a collaboration with Tanjaret Daghet, Muhammad Abdullah from the Band “ El Morabba3” and himself. The project was due to be launched on 19 October, but demonstrations started on October 17, marking the beginning of the uprising in Lebanon. At that period Zeid Hamdan had started to collaborate with Lynn Adib.
