Renegade Sufi is a blend of the modern and ancient music of India, Africa, Persia, and Asia upon a foundation of jazz, blues, and hip hop. This is what Dawoud calls Mystic Jaz. One of Dawoud's accomplishment is the development of techniques and innovations on sitar, including the integration of eastern and western techniques; and the development of the sitar synthesizer.
Mystic Jaz is a music that produces an enlightening effect upon the mind, body, and spirit of the listener. Audiences from the USA and Europe have attended his performances, and listened to his recordings. All feel that they have participated in a unique musical and spiritual experience.
Dawoud's work is rare - perhaps unique.
His capacity as a sitarist, guitarist,composer, and improviser is that of someone who has mastered his craft. He has no lack of confidence in his vision or ability to manifest it as an artistic reality.
Audiences have walked away from his performances having had an experience that transcended mere entertainment or art.
If you are looking for a unique and beautiful musical experience, you came to the right place."

As told by the artist:
You are here because you want music.
I can offer music.
I supose I could entertain you.
But you want something greater;
Something that speaks to your heart.
Something ecstatic and sacred.
You want something more real than real.
Am I right?
I won't sing putrid love songs to an imaginary girl.
I'm talking to YOU, to your inner self.
So, since you are intrigued by innovative ideas about music and unprecedented approach to sitar, love beauty, heroism, and communion with the Divine, strive for vastness of spirit and profundity of meditative reflection on existence, and you crave a romantic mysticism and the surrender to the dimensions of the spiritual and sensual, then by all means, welcome!
You've come to the right place.
