One time I was about to perform with my band in front of 5,000 people and I was so nervous I peed my pants. I started the first song seconds later and no one noticed so we Gucci. first things first:
I am legally authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship or transfer.I totally understand how difficult it is to pronounce my name. You are totally forgiven if you get it wrong.But if you're curious, it's pronounced Ha-tem; not Hatiiim, Hateeem, or Hate-Em.I don’t hate nobody or anything, really.Except for maybe that one guy at Starbucks who keeps calling me Hate-Em. When he eventually found out, he gave me free coffee for a few days. So actually, nah, I don’t hate him. I did buy a Nespresso machine the next day, though.Drumming Created The Advertising Nerd:
Most metal drummers focus on speed; I chose to focus on being creativefirst and making the best use of my entire drum kit; then speed.
That pushed me to think differently (Oh Hi Lee Clow), working harder to offer a distinctive experience to who I am talking to with my work.
Random Things For No specific Reason:
I performed all over the world with my ex-band, Scarab.I am not a fan of smiling in pictures, so I make silly faces instead and turned that into a tradition. I mentioned that I don’t hate anything, I lied. Crocs: I fuckin’ loathe that shit (THIS is how much),we’ll stay friends if you own a pair, though.My music choices jump from death metal to N’Sync in a second, Spotify's algorithm must be having a real hard time with me. I show appreciation and love by buying coffee and drinks for the ones I love even at the expense of breaking the bank.I promise it's pronounced Espresso, not Expresso. Oh and I am Egyptian, so I can’t promise
not showing up to work on a camel 🤷♂️
