JAWAD
has opened for or performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Gerald Albright, Alex
Bugnon, The Manhattans and others. His musical style caresses the ears
and lightens the hearts of all cultures. He is available as a solo
artist, duo or trio.
Jawad's original music is perfect for clubs, coffeehouse sets, parties, banquets or special events.
"Jawad is the kind of cat who can go anyplace--a coffee shop, a church social, a frat mixer, a middle school...maybe even a balls-to-the-wall punk club...and play an impromptu set that audiences can feast on....The dude is the very definition of eclectic. How eclectic? Well, let's break down an average set: Aside from three or four originals, he'll likely offer up a little Stevie Wonder, a couple of Sting tunes, a Burt Bacharach number for the swingers, some Emerson, Lake & Palmer or Steely Dan for the old-school hipsters, some definitive Dylan or Neil Young, a shot of Curtis Mayfield or Babyface and maybe, just maybe, if the audience seems primed for it, a version of Rodgers and hammerstein's "My Favorite Things." ...Craig D. Lindsey, Music Editor, Houston Press
"His performance was excellent. He is warm and entertaining, and sings many kinds of songs with a mellow "laid back" voice on the ballads anda robust, beautifully smooth voice on the upbeat songs...Very versatile." ...Bill Valentine, University of Texas/Medical Center-Galveston
