About

Samer Fanek (Arabic: سامر الفانك) is an award-winning Jordanian-Polish pianist, composer and producer with a lifelong dream of introducing instrumental piano music to wider audiences, drawing them in through memorable live performances that tell a story and leave a lasting impression. Known for his piano-based orchestral compositions that blend genres and cultures, he layers the piano with modern synthesizers and orchestral textures to create a distinctive sound. His music ranges from powerful and dramatic to gentle and introspective, including delicate piano solos.

To date, he has released four studio albums: “Call of the Desert” (2022), “Polarized” (2020), “Guide Me” (2018), and “Wishful Thinking” (2016). Each of these albums has received critical acclaim, debuting at #1 on Amazon.com charts within their genre, with Wishful Thinking also reaching #12 on the US New Age Billboard charts.
