Biography

Edit

Known as the abassador of rhythm and the world's leading name in Egypitian dance music,Hossam Ramzy began his career early, when at the age of three he was given his first drum, an Egyptian Tabla.

A move to Saudi Arabia led him to join with many Bedouin tribes, giving the young Hossam a rich insight into the cultural origins of Middle Eastern music that became the inspiration for many of his later rhythmic directions. In the mid 1970's, Hossam came to England and enjoyed great success as a Jazz drummer working with many respected Jazz musicians like Andy Sheperd and Geoff Williams. Later, as he began looking for new dimensions of percussive sounds, he found himself turning full circle back to his first love, the Egyptian Drums, and the thrilling dance rhythms of the Middle East.

Hossam has gone on to work with many top musicians and artists including Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Gipsy Kings, Ricky Martin, Joan Armatrading, Mary Wilson, Killing Joke, Chick Corea, Shakira and many more.

Hossam Continues to compose, record and produce music at the Drumzy Music Studios in the heart of West Sussex, UK.
