Music Background and influence
Damen commented on his film score journey: "Composing music became a passion of mine since I was 14 years old. During my MSc studies in England, I acquired my ABRSM certificate in Western music theory with Distinction. Then, I travelled to Jordan and trained under Maestro Mohammad Ottoman Siddiq and other composers.
My inspirations during this musical journey include soundtrack composers like Maurice Jarre, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Amon Tobin and Nino Rota.
I secured an opportunity to pursue advanced education in Music Production and Technology at the Turkish music conservatory at the Istanbul Technical University."
