A Palestinian-Jordanian artist, now based in Palestine, began making music at the age of 17. The Synaptik studied medicine for seven years and graduated. His stage name is derived from his fascination with the nervous system, neurotransmitters, and his personal experience with ADHD, which led him to call himself The Synaptik: “because that’s where things happen.”

The Synaptik has pioneered a new wave of sound for Arab youth. His honest and potent lyrics are highlighted by his songwriting style, which merges singing and rapping effortlessly. With a groundbreaking first album under his belt, dozens of local, regional, and international shows, and a much-anticipated second album, The Synaptik has cemented his status as one of the pillars of the hip-hop scene in the region.
