IJK was recently featured in the Lebanese French speaking newspaper l'Orient Le Jour in an article by famous radio anchor John Saad. 

The press review highlighted IJK as a rising Lebanese singer-songwriter as indicated by its french title "IJK, Le Libanais Qui Monte".

Below is the complete article from the print newspaper (in French).

On March 11, 2017, MTV Lebanon - a top Lebanese TV station - interviewed IJK on its popular Rising Star show. 

The half hour interview tackled many interesting topics including the origins of IJK's music, his influences and his latest and future projects.

IJK also performed the legendary "Blue Suede Shoes" tune live on TV and rocked the audience in the studio and people watching at home.

Here's the full interview for those who missed it:

It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year!

People get together with their loved ones, share quality time...and good meals!

It is also the time to reflect on the past year...The successes and the setbacks and most of all about the lessons learned for a better future.

Let's also think about our neighbors and brothers and sisters out there...People who are sad, lonely and without the means to celebrate...Let's not forget about those. Sometimes a phone call or simply a smile is enough if we can't do more...

Having said that, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2017.

And to finish this year in music, here's my take on this famous Christmas song recorded by the Christmas tree :)

​God bless you all!

IJK
