Been listening to a ton of Mishaal lately. His song “Peddle Bike” seems to be in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation… and it has migrated onto my playlists. I also love his remix of “Friends.”
Mishaal is originally from Saudi Arabia but now lives in New York City where hs is going to college. He started creating music a young kid in Saudi but he was saying on AltNation the other day that he started recording in NYC after some youtube videos went viral. He found a studio, paid the $30 an hour rent and put down some songs.
There are a couple articles I came across…here’s one from 2018 and another in Cosmo from the summer.
My favourite takeaway is that his fave throwback is Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Alright my young Saudi friend, you have a new fan in this old Dad guy.
Go with yourself.
