For S.J. Karam, music isn’t just something you listen to—it’s something you feel. His ambient electronic tracks create an atmosphere that’s as relaxing as it is thought-provoking, inviting listeners into a world of sound that feels both nostalgic and new.
A lifelong music lover from Lebanon, S.J. Karam has spent decades fine-tuning his craft. And while he’s been making music since the ’80s, he’s not in it for fame—he just wants to share his passion with the world.
From Classical Guitar to Synth Heaven
S.J.’s love affair with music started when he was just 10 years old, learning classical guitar. But it wasn’t long before the futuristic tones of synthesizers captured his imagination. Artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, and Vangelis inspired him to explore electronic music, and he’s been hooked ever since.
Nevertheless, he never stopped playing guitar, developing his style, playing original songs and covers, then started playing also electric guitar, inspired mainly by Hank Marvin (The Shadows) and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd).
In the ’90s, as computer-based music production started taking off, S.J. began experimenting with MIDI and synthesizers. With a Korg M1 workstation in hand, he created his first album, Love Letter, as a romantic tribute to his then-fiancée and current wife Lilian.
Albums That Tell a Story
Over the years, S.J. has released a series of albums, each one crafted to evoke a particular mood or feeling.
- “Love Letter” (2012): A heartfelt, ambient collection inspired by love.
- “Infinite Loop” (2013): A vintage electronic album full of nostalgic, ’80s-style synths.
- “Simplicity” (2016): A beautifully minimalist project that lets the music speak for itself.
- “Circle of Influence” (coming soon): His latest project, continuing his journey of creating evocative, story-driven music.
S.J.’s albums aren’t just music—they’re journeys. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or just daydreaming, his soundtracks provide the perfect escape.
Music That Goes Against the Grain
In a world dominated by loud, high-energy EDM, S.J. takes a different approach. His tracks are calm, soothing, and full of meaning, designed to be enjoyed whether you’re focusing on them or letting them play in the background.
“My music isn’t about following trends,” he says. “It’s about creating something that feels genuine—something people can connect with.”
Making Dreams Happen
For years, S.J.’s music remained a personal project, as getting it out into the world felt nearly impossible. But thanks to streaming platforms and online tools, he’s been able to share his passion with a global audience.
“I’m not trying to be a celebrity,” S.J. explains. “I just want my music to reach people and bring them some joy or peace.”
Looking ahead, S.J. plans to keep releasing instrumental tracks, though he’s open to exploring songs with lyrics one day. Either way, his goal is the same: to keep creating music that resonates.
