Prince Q "Abdul Razaq Al Busmait" born in Ras Al Khaimah  in 1974/10/30 one of the Emirates of the United Arab Emirates is a Dubai based producer and music composer that has stamped his indelible imprint on the music scene since the mid-1990s.

His production has helped create career-defining hits for U.A.E based artists such as Kaz Money, Kanatokitz, Moule Dinaro, Rojhe, among others. As well as helping elevate the music standard in the region Prince Q, whose musical influences cross cultural lines, has also been sought after by a number of superstars whose music similarly know no boundaries, from pop star Karl Wolf, Snoop Dogg, Scratch "The Roots', Simon Webb, Styles P, Sway, Loon.

Prince Q's interest in music started at the age of 20 as a disc jockey, then known as “DJ Q” he was one half half of the hip hop group “Q & rony jaxx” DJing/rapping at house parties and clubs and the occasional battle against other crews. "Q and Rone Jaxx" continued DJing for the next 4 years becoming one of Dubai's most popular DJ groups. The next few years saw Prince Q shy away from music as 'the music scene was growing very slowly and was frustrated with the lack of creativity' pushing him into the corporate job in Abu Dhabi to give that a try. Being a musician at heart Prince Q couldn't let go and started learning music production during his time off. During this time Prince Q met a U.A.E based rapper Kaz Money, they shared similar interests and both wanted to get into the studio. Thats exactly what they did, Prince Q now familiar with production and Kaz Money with a a book of rhymes started meeting at a small room in Abu Dhabi to work on their first album knocking out 50 tracks in 2 months. The album landed itself in the hands of U.S based record label Creative Kingdom in Dubai. Prince Q was picked up as the head producer for the label and Kaz Money was set to be their first signed artist with a regional record deal. Prince Q and Kaz Money started recruiting talented artists in Abu Dhabi including Moul Deniro, Ghost, Kev, and Juju under the name Dez Dep. So Dez Dep and Creative kingdom got to work. Kaz Money’s hit single “monster ball” and debut LP “TIMEZUP” produced by Prince Q introduced the region to the Q-effect : Middle-East hip hop mixed with eclectic effects held together by complex slamming snare beats. Following the debut, Kaz-Money was named Best HipHop Artist in the Middle East by Timout Dubai. Next in line for Prince Q was producing 2 singles for the 2007 Karl Wolf (EMI Music) album “bite the bullet” "Like this' and “makes me wonder”. Karl Wolf's album "Bite the bullet" is the album that won Karl Wolf his first MTV award for 'Best new artist'. Off the back of that Prince Q got into the studio with Simon Webb/Junkyard grove

This led to a second collaboration on Karl's latest album “Night Life” and producing an independent song for Snoop Dogg for Underground Procedures titled "RRR" winning Creative Kingdom the title of the best studio in the Middle East by 'Sound and Stage". Underground Procedure was another side project Prince Q setup with a Dubai based Hip Hop group of DJ's and rappers to push the boundaries of Hip Hop in the Middle East even further. After establishing a strong base for local artists and producing for stint of international artist Prince Q content with the outcome once again decided to move to bigger and better things. Prince Q was head hunted by MBC Network to Head the A&R department of their of New Age Music group Platinum Records scouting talent from across the Middle East, producing albums for them and shaping them as artists. Being more and more recognised in the Middle East Prince Q was now being approached from every corner of the industry finding all kinds of work requests on his plate. One that really caught his eye was music scoring for movies 'Tina' an Emirati movie in the official selection for the Gulf Film Festival 2010 and Xero Error for Dubai International Film Festival and an official entry at CANNES film festival making Prince Q the first Emirati producer to create music for such a coveted festival currently princeq teamed up with DJ.BLISS aka Marwan alawadi a media figure ,dj, and a TV presenter in Dubai and the both working on an a new album, coming out  in early 2013
