Dozenz, also known as Saleh Hamed, is a songwriter, producer, and musician from the Abu Dhabi, UAE in the Arabian Peninsula. Having grown up in California, Northern England and the UAE, Dozenz blends a wide range of musical styles and genres that influenced him as a traveling 3rd Culture kid. The song of a military man based in the UAE desert, Dozenz had to travel over 50km to reach the nearest school, which usually took around 40 minutes. During those daily trips, his mother would live up the atmosphere by playing her favorite songs from the Motown era – Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes Simon and Garfunkle and Carly Simon were just a few names she would have him and his four siblings singing along to. When it was Dozenz turn to choose what they listened to he switched up the genre a bit; Radiohead, Coldplay, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis were some of his favorite bands.
