Sami Ghawi - Producer, Artist Developer, & Performer

A professional guitarist, vocalist, and pianist, Sami adds his particular flavour or style to a recording, accommodating without intruding on the originality of the artist. His musical influences come from the rock/pop & balladry of The Beatles, Spanish & Arabic guitar styles, to club dance music. As a performer he plays with a group, or solo, mixing his own compositions with crowd favourites. Comparisons have been made to Cat Stevens and Paul McCartney. Some say Elvis.

Sami, Gish & Mo

FP Artists Gish & Mo were Sami's first inspiration in the creation of FUSIONpresents in May 2002.  Having played music with these gentlemen since 1995, in 2002 Sami realized that it was time to promote and showcase their wonderful talent.   What followed was the conception of an idea that artists would collectively promote, develop and perform each other's music while highlighting each individual artist, thus was born the concept of the  FUSIONpresents Artist.

Sami & Mo Live & O'Regans

In summer 2004, Sami performed every Tuesday night with FP artist Mo at O'Regan's Irish Pub in Montreal, an event that turned out to be one of the most successful live entertainment shows in Montreal during that time.  The duo recorded 2 full shows from their 3 month run, creating a repertoire of 35 classic cover songs and a number of other originals.  These recordings remain the top downloads from FUSIONpresents.
