From an ancient and rooted family in Mosul, his father was a teacher at Al-Tahira School for Boys in Mosul, and his mother, Salwa Moreh, was of Syrian origin, a housewife.

His study
He began his primary studies at Al-Tahira School for Boys in Mosul, then moved in the fifth grade of primary school to Al-Fayhaa School in Al-Wahda neighborhood where the family lived. In the Faculty of Physical Education he chose reluctantly because of his attachment to music and his desire for the Musical Academy, which at that time did not have a branch in Mosul.

In music
His fondness for music began from a very early age, and due to his strong desire to learn this fine art, he bought himself a book of solfège and a flute and learned on his own the simple rules of music and the reading of musical notes.

When he traveled to Italy, he learned to play the keyboard, in addition to learning musical harmonies, and this enabled him to begin composing music upon his return to his first country, Iraq.

He participated in religious chanting with the choir of the Mother of the Permanent Help Church, and after several years he led the choir of the Dominican Church in Mosul for a short period. He continued with personal diligence to develop his musical abilities and knowledge until he traveled to Belgium after the invasion of Mosul in 2014, and there were more ways for him to study music and the clarinet.
