Musician / Composer / Producer of World
A.k.a. أحمد نظمي (Ahmed Nazmi)

Ahmed Nazmi is a bass player/Composer/Producer whose sound draws its unique character from his early interest in playing Egyptian traditional music on varied instruments and exploring music from other cultures. The Ahmed Nazmi Quartet is the brainchild of renowned bassist, Ahmed Nazmi. Before he had turned 15, Nazmi was already playing the Oud, classical guitar and drums, eventually bonding with the bass guitar. He is one of the very few bassists that have managed to blend the traditions of contemporary bass playing with his Egyptian heritage. As he continues to develop his own signature sound, he has been revisiting his heritage with a new perspective and has created an original approach of playing the bass in a way that produces distinctive styles while blending various influences, including jazz, African, and Egyptian music. He released his first Bass solo album “ETHBAT HALA” in July 2012 which featured some of the finest musicians in Egypt and great international musicians, including the Syrian saxophone player, Basel Rajoub, and the Dutch/Iranian percussionist Babak Madda. Since “Ethbat Hala”, Nazmi’s musical portfolio has incorporated a range of sounds, mesmerizing audiences with the vast stories that his compositions tell. The music not only combines new ideas beyond the typical structures, but, as well, innovates between the traditional and modern, inspiring listeners to experience sound at deeper and more alluring level.
