Marek Razzouk, a Lebanese-British artist and co-founder of Abu Recordings, has played a pivotal role in shaping a vibrant community within the Middle Eastern diaspora. Along with US-based Italian artist Paolo Cicilioni, Marek transformed Abu Recordings from a record label into a collaborative hub, built on principles of community, friendship, and shared energy.

His vision goes beyond business; it’s about bringing together creative minds and celebrating the diversity of the region’s sound. Through his work with artists like Saint Levant, Marek focuses on personal connections and artistic freedom.

As an advocate for artistic independence, Marek believes the manager’s role is to facilitate, not dictate, the creative vision—fostering an environment where artists can truly express themselves.
