Alan Azar is a Lebanese electric guitar virtuoso that has been known for his melodic, intricate, and technical musicianship. Alan began his journey of learning the guitar when his father bought him a nylon string guitar at the age of 15. With a lot of dedication and practice Alan became proficient on the instrument.
In 2001, Azar formed his first band ‘Alienz’, achieving underground success throughout Lebanon. The band amassed a strong following, performing cover songs by Metallica, Megadeth, and Savatage.
Eventually, the band shifted their focus from covers to originals, and turned to a more progressive-metal flair, with influences from bands like Symphony X, Dream Theater and Joe Satriani. This shift was the defining moment in Alan’s career, shaping him into a multifaceted player and giving him the impetus to launch his solo career.
A few years later, Azar’s first solo album “Defective Harmony” was released in January of 2009. With help from his brothers, Julien on keyboard and Roland on mixing and mastering duties.
