DAOUD

Jazz's favourite rulebreaker

Wednesday 18 November 2026

The problem child of jazz who refuses to play by jazz’s rules, daoud imagines a music driven by a sense of inadequacy, one that disrupts conventions without seeking approval, resonating equally with curious newcomers and seasoned purists. His work is charged with a persistent tension: between playfulness and gravity, chaos and tenderness, irony and sincerity. With ‘ok’, his latest album, he delivers a personal manifesto shaped by collapse and repetition, but also by the perseverance required to begin again.

Around the music, the artist crafts a raw visual universe, marked as much by provocation as by youthful abandon, a return to childhood not for comfort, but to unearth contradictions. Fragility, impermanence, satire – his aesthetic embraces the flaw rather than concealing it.

On stage, daoud and his band bend the rules with a mix of restrained lyricism and explosive force. Since the release of GOOD BOY in 2024, praised by critics, they’ve played a string of sold-out shows and standout performances, from Ronnie Scott’s in London to the Montreux Jazz Festival, with a stop at Marciac along the way. At the same time, daoud composes and produces for others, without ever letting go of a personal approach that grows ever freer and more uncompromising.
