Songs for Rojava - Crowdfunder


Some of you may have seen via my social media pages that I've announced a brand new album project called "Songs for Rojava" due for release within the next two to three months. The aim of the project is to raise more awareness about the Kurdish struggle and the Rojava revolution, and the album will be available for FREE to absolutely everyone.

There is going to be a CD version if you prefer that rather than a free download, and it will also be possible to stream the album on Spotify and iTunes, etc. However, I'm making the entire collection of songs and the artwork downloadable at no cost online so that Kurdish supporters and solidarity campaign groups can burn copies of the album and sell them at fundraising events. I will publish a guide for those who want to do that when the time comes - it's easy.

The album will feature lots of new Rojava and Kudistan-related songs as well as newly recorded versions of Song for the YPJ, On A Cold Night In Syria, and Ocalan.

All music on the album is going to be released under creative commons licensing meaning that anyone is free to use it within videos, at events, or however they like. I believe music is an excellent way to grab attention and raise awareness, and that is why I'm dedicating a lot of time, effort, and inevitably; money to this project.

I've set up a crowdfunding campaign for anyone who would like to contribute towards helping me cover some of the costs involved in bringing Songs for Rojava to life. I'd really appreciate any support you can offer, and every donation helps!

If, by some strange stroke of luck, there is any money left over from the crowdfunder after recording and releasing the album, I will use the cash to send free CD versions of the album to Kurd solidarity groups.

Contribute towards the crowdfunding campaign here:

Regardless of how much money I manage to raise with contributions, Songs for Rojava will become available by the end of July / beginning of August this year (2018).

I want to support the Kurdish struggle and the Rojava revolution as much as possible, and as a songwriter, I think this is the best way to do it. If you agree, feel free to chip-in!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Catch you later comrades.

New Song "Ocalan" out NOW!!!

Hi comrades! In case you haven't seen via my Facebook or Twitter pages, I've just released a new song that tells the story of imprisoned Kurdish freedom fighter Abdullah Öcalan. You can listen to the track for free here or download it if you want to support my music. I wrote the song because I feel that the story is interesting and often overlooked. I also discovered that websites like Facebook tend to ban accounts for posting ANYTHING related to Ocalan or the PKK which I find rather disturbing. I mean, regardless of your political opinions and whether or not you consider the man to be a terrorist (more than 140 countries don't while around 49 do), the Kurdish Worker's Party and their movement is an important part of the history of the entire region. Removing even the slightest mention of Ocalan from Facebook stinks for that reason alone. Will the song get my Facebook account banned? Who knows? Luckily, I've been posting about it online for a couple of da

Announcement: THE BIG EUROPEAN TOUR PROJECT

Hevals, Comrades, Revolutionaries, With my new album Songs for Rojava now finished and available , I've had a bit of time to relax during the past week or so and think about my next move. Enter the Big European Tour Project. I want to take these songs (and others) on the road around Europe between April and September 2019, but I'm going to need a lot of help to make it happen. After putting the feelers out a couple of days ago, I now believe I have contacts in a few European countries who are willing to help arrange some gigs and bring my music about the Kurdish struggle and the Rojava revolution to their towns and cities. However, I want to make this tour as big as possible, and so if there are any other people out there who might be interested in arranging a show; read on. Which countries do I want to visit? All of them! I plan to travel from England in a Camper-van with a good friend and so we will be flexible when it comes to our stop-off destinations. It would
