Wissam Ridan on Iraqi Music Authenticity
Syrian artist and composer Wissam Ridan confirmed that his beginnings were with music and singing at a young age. He started passionately with the oud and then participated in school competitions, which led him into the world of art. He indicated that he relies on his innate talent in music arrangement and has a personal opinion on combining singing and composing. He expressed his satisfaction with his career despite acknowledging that he hasn't achieved great success. He believes that the Arab singing scene is filled with old names like Khaled Abdul Rahman and Saadoun Jaber, and that the phenomenon of youth music depends on the audience's taste—an undeniable phenomenon. He emphasized that Iraqi singing retains its authenticity, explaining that artists return to it to regain their shine. He considered that tools for a composer’s success include talent, culture, and experience. At the end of his talk, he expressed hope that he would not regret his artistic works, wishing that the dream remains alive.
