Nazareth born Michel Sajrawy can easily join the ranks of seminal jazz guitarists. The guitarist and composer completed his musical studies 1996 to 2000 at the London College of Music under the direction of renowned chamber music composer Adam Gorb. In his own Dasam Studio in Nazareth, he has developed a sound that confronts the listener with his special „Desert Blues" – soulful, tricky jazz-rock lines and mysterious Arabic rhythms.
Michel has been awarded the Wilfred Joseph Prize (1998-99), Best Title in Music (2002) and the A. M. Qattan Foundation’s Performing Arts Grant for the year 2007.
He worked with Abboud Abdel'All, Bashir Abdel'All, Ahmad Al-Mukhtar, Samir Jubran, Alex Carpani, Manfred Leuchter, Travis Sullivan, Danny Zanker and Hector Morales. He composed music for several documentary films, arranged the music for various mini orchestral projects and produced radio jingles for the major brands in the country.
Debut album „Yathrib" (2006 Ozella Music) marks Sajrawy’s entrance into the vanguard of crossover artists who see themselves creating an uncompromising jazz sound between traditional and contemporary. He has been touring the globe tirelessly with his band ever since.. In Germany he performed at the Leipzig Jazz Festival in 2006, a year later he jammed with Nigel Kennedy in Jerusalem, and in 2008 the New York jazz scene had the pleasure of experiencing his explosive guitar art. Besides numerous collaborations with colleagues like Abboud Abdel'All, accordeon player Manfred Leuchter or fellow countryman, oud virtuoso Samir Joubran. Sajrawy also works as a film composer.
