Tareq Aakef is an Egyptian composer, musical arranger, and conductor, as well as a professional keyboardist and owner of one of the most important studios in the Middle East, Sawt El Hob (The Voice of Love). Biography He studied music at the Higher Institute of Music in Egypt and worked at first as a keyboardist for the belly dancer Najwa Fouad. He was spotted then by the Maestro Hamada El Nadi who was taken aback by his talent and decided to work with him. Aakef also worked with the famous musician Ammar El Sherei where he found the opportunity to arrange a song for Kuwaiti singer Abdallah El Ruwaished, titled She Moved Away. This was his claim-to-fame and started him on the path that led to the throne of musical arrangement in the Arab world. Tareq Aakef's school of musical arrangement is considered one of the most significant because he has preserved Middle Eastern music while incorporating Western beats and instruments, the result of which is evolutionary. Tareq Aakef has worked with countless composers such as Samir Sfeir, Salah El Sharnoubi and Abdallah El Ga'oud, as well as singers such as Dr. Abdelrab Idriss, Najwa Karam, Nabil Shuail, Ahlam and singers/composers Majed El Mohandes and Rabeh Saqr. It is a well-known fact in the music business that Aakef has his own unique magical touch which can on its own make a song succeed. Personality In addition to his talent, Tareq Aakef is a polite, modest and upbeat person who is rarely involved in arguments and fights. Some rare cases include the Kuwaiti composer Mesh'al El Erouj who has not seen the success he used to have since he cut off ties with Aakef. This affected several singers whom Mesh'al managed, such as Nawal El Kuwaitia (whom now works with Aakef again). Collaborations Aakef works primarily with his brother, sound engineer Amin Aakef.
