“Our mission goes far beyond the music scene in Saudi Arabia,” states Talal Albahiti, chief operating officer and head of talent booking at MDLBeast. “On the contrary, it is aimed at growing the music industry region-wide and ensuring we create a sustainable music industry, inspiring and empowering the entire ecosystem.” He added, “Between our annual flagship event Soundstorm in Riyadh, and Aravia in Doha, we are thrilled to travel out of Saudi for the first time and be hosting these incredible music events. Flying into Qatar, to bring in our talented team and expertise to ensure music fans across the region enjoy the best performers from around the world.”
