My name is Dina Hammad. I was born in Bulgaria back in 1996 in a lovely, big family. The common phrase ‘if I had the chance to choose my family, I would choose mine’ is the honest truth here.

I have 2 brothers and one sister older then me. And our amazing parents without whom we would not be what we are today. The last name of our family has always been a cause of interest and maybe a little bit funny for the other people, because it’s totally different from the Bulgarian ones. Our dad is from Palestine and we have been always proud of that.

The city I grew up in is Sofia and it’s the most beautiful place I have ever been.

Since an early age, I had displayed a great interest in music. Twelve years ago, I started my harp tuition at the National School of Music ‘’Lyubomir Pipkov’’– Sofia, Bulgaria, where I also studied how to play the piano as a compulsory instrument in our school program. I took part in harp productions, which were realized twice a year. During the year 2013, one of my friends and I organized and perform an individual concert, a part of which were the following music works: G. Handel – Harp Concerto; Albrechtsberger – Harp Concerto; M. Grandjany – Sarabande and Double; I.Albeniz – Granada; Yiruma – River flows in You and Kiss The Rain. I have participated in the fifth International competition named ‘’Young Virtouosi’’ at which I was awarded the third award. I have been taught in the master classes of: Elizabeth Binoche and Suzanna Kllintcharova from France and Lisetta Rossi form Italy. I have played first harp in an orchestra called ‘’Harps and Guitars’’. I have travelled to Turkey and Greece in order to perform a series of concerts with the Philharmonic Orchestra ‘’Pioneer’’.

I have graduated from the National School of Music ‘’Lyubomir Pipkov’’, from which I have a Diploma of Secondary Education and Certificate of Professional Qualification.

In my 18’s I went to study in England in one small and quite city called Worcester. I graduated with HND (Higher National Diploma) Urban & Electronic Music Production from University of Worcester – Worcester, United Kingdom.

Nowadays I live and study in one of the greatest cities – London, which was always one of my biggest dreams.
