Jad Pinnone
Anchored by a resonant voice, exhibiting the best of a storyteller and expressing his influences stemming from his Shilha Moroccan and Italian cultural roots, Australia’s Jad Pinnone is a sonic poet, blending alternative ambient blues, folk and soulful R&B-infused maqam chants with Moroccan folklore and spiritual Gnawa music. Enchanting and distinctive, Jad Pinnone creates hypnotic soundscapes with dreamy, atmospheric elements that transport the listener to a world of his own.

With an innate and authentic energy, Jad Pinnone paints soaring, honest portraits through profound lyrics and charisma and creates a sound that is completely his own.
