Ahmad Rammal – My Musical Journey
My name is Ahmad Rammal, and music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I picked up the guitar at the age of 14, and from the moment I strummed those first chords, it became more than just an instrument — it became a voice, a refuge, and a lifelong companion.

My earliest influences came from classic rock, hard rock, and heavy metal — genres that drew me in with their energy, raw emotion, and powerful storytelling. But my curiosity didn’t stop there. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for world music, particularly traditional sounds from India, the Middle East, Turkey, the Balkans, and Spain. These influences have found their way into my phrasing and melodic sense, blending Eastern textures with Western structures.
Outside of guitar-driven music, I’m also passionate about Latin music and dance. There’s something powerful in the way rhythm and movement connect — both are instinctive, expressive, and deeply human. They’ve helped shape not just how I play, but how I feel music.
