Nasser Abu Hamdan
- Composer
- Music Department
Born and raised in Amman Jordan. Growing up in an art-loving family,
Naser developed a high sense of music and rhythm since the age of 3,
drumming and singing at all times and places, especially on his school
desk. In 1992, Naser started learning how to play the Piano and
gradually took classes learning several musical instruments until he
found his real passion in 1996, the guitar. His unique talent allowed
him to excel at playing classic guitar in short time, encouraging him
to continue his music education to acoustic, electric, flamenco and
other kinds of guitars. Starting 2001, Naser's unique talent, passion
and fast growing reputation got him several offers to join working
local bands. For 5 years, he joined several bands where he played the
lead guitarist covering a vast range of music genres, such as classic,
rock, Jazz and Funk. In addition, Naser was one of the main organizers
and hosts of concerts held in Jordan and Lebanon at several scales.
Early 2005, Naser joined the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in Amman
and graduated with an Audio Engineering Diploma in 2007, and a
professional training in main advanced audio softwares. Developing from
there, Naser composed and produced two albums with his new band
"Jumping Turtle" called We are Not Here & The Wrong Revolution which
are soon lined up for music video production. Inclined to better
practice and to produce International music, Naser relocated to Canada
to continue his training in film scoring while he studies Professional
Sound Production at the Metalworks Institute. August 2010, Naser landed
his debut film scoring job for "Love...Older", shot in Los Angeles and
Beirut, where he successfully composed Arabic, Japanese and American
music for award winning filmmakers.
