Tamer Gargour was born with a passion for connection and creation, which has led him to being an accomplished musician performing to crowds of over 30 thousand spectators, a content creator and host for Redbull radio, and an award nominated morning radio talk-show host who has interviewed everyone from rock royalty, to actual royalty. Tamer also realizes the importance of the business of creativity, and has been utilizing his legal and business background, to best serve the creative community and help them prepare for the road ahead.
Having recently graduated with a Master of Digital Media degree, Tamer’s multicultural and inclusive approach to creativity, resulted in the creation of a limited podcast series ‘Travelling While Arab’, which put a spotlight on the challenges and pitfalls of travelling while Arab in this technological age. Tamer continues to work within the media industry as a live-streamer, songwriter and performer. His songs have found millions of views across social media, and he is currently completing a 2 month residency at Expo 2020 Dubai, playing bass and performing in an interactive theatre performance that helps Arabic learning be fun and creative for parents and their kids. Tamer Gargour might be considered a Jack of most trades and master of a select few, but he brings all of them to his role at the Music Den, and can’t wait to build the next great wave of Canadian music innovation.
