I hold a Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology from UCLA (2002). My academic work involves extensive research and fieldwork within the music community, specifically focusing on music of the Middle East and Africa.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

edit

As a result of my academic and professional career, I have established working relationships with various musicians, scholars, and institutions.

  • I am committed to neutrality and verifiability.
  • When editing articles for individuals I have collaborated with or studied closely, I will disclose that connection on the article's Talk page.
  • For major biographical changes or potential "Conflict of Interest" (COI) topics, I will use the {{request edit}} template on the Talk page to allow neutral editors to review my suggestions.
