Hey folks, the wait is finally over! I am pleased to announce the release of my latest single and first one in Lebanese. The song is called "Chedd Halak" which means something along the lines of "do some serious efforts" or "get your act together and make it happen!". The song is a satire of the corrupted political clique in Lebanon and is a form of wake-up call to avoid the demise of the economy and environment of the country. Here is the original music video, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it, IJK IJK is happy to announce to his fans and followers that "Johnny & June" has won the 2nd place in the Asia category at the International Anim!Arte Film Festival in Brazil, 2018 edition.

Speak very soon, IJK Hello friends & followers! IJK here.
Thought of giving you the latest updates. Here's the big news: I am currently working on my first song in...Lebanese! (Hell Yeah!) I know, I know, it's about time :) We have already completed the production of the song and it sounds really, really cool. Actually, got some expert folks from Nashville to help on the mix. What to expect? Well, a combination of awesome rocking riffs, a rhythmic melody and cool Lebanese lyrics. You can say this is East meets West, a cool fusion of styles in pure Lebanese fashion. We are busy right now shooting a kick-ass music video. We've partnered this time with director Nadim Tabet, a rising talent who recently released his first feature film called One Of These Days. Here are a few stills directly from the set...Stay tuned! IJK recently recorded an awesome version of the legendary love ballad, Unchained Melody. Written in 1955 by North & Zaret, the song was first recorded by singer Todd Duncan for the film Unchained (hence the title of the song). It has been subsequently recorded by numerous artists including Sam Cooke, U2, Elvis, Roy Orbison and Heart. But the best known and most popular version was the one recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1965 and used for the film Ghost featuring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
