The problem child of jazz who refuses to play by the rules, daoud brings his restless imagination and raw energy to BIRD. His music thrives on tension: playful yet serious, chaotic yet tender, ironic yet sincere.

With ok, his upcoming album on ACT (2025), daoud presents a personal manifesto shaped by collapse, repetition, and the quiet determination to start again. His sound doesn’t seek approval, it invites curiosity. Listeners find themselves caught between beauty and dissonance, vulnerability and force.

Around his music, daoud builds a visual world that’s just as daring: fragile, imperfect, sometimes even absurd, but always alive. A return to childhood not to escape, but to confront contradictions head-on.

On stage, daoud and his band bend the rules with restrained lyricism and explosive bursts of emotion. After GOOD BOY (2024), praised by critics and followed by sold-out shows from Ronnie Scott’s to Montreux, they now bring that same unpredictable fire to Rotterdam.
