About
Daoud is a French-Moroccan trumpeter, composer and producer who surfaced with a decade of sideman and writing work before debuting his solo project. His first album *Good Boy* (2024) earned wide acclaim, and in August 2025 he released *ok* on ACT, pushing boundaries of jazz and crossover. He has played major festivals like Montreux and Ronnie Scott’s.

His music blends jazz with hip-hop, R&B and electronic elements, marked by tension between chaos and lyricism, irony and sincerity, embracing imperfection and raw visual aesthetics.
