He started learning classical piano when he was six years old and DJing when he was 18. Emad was first inspired to become a DJ at the age of 19 after watching a documentary about DJs on the video. At the age of 19, he went to guitar school when he was studying degree of Biology in university, he began DJing in small party at the Armenia. He got master of Biochemistry and before immigrated to Malaysia, he studied sound engineering . He enrolled at the Jazz Academy in Malaysia.

He often cited fellow Tiesto and Hardwell as his biggest inspiration and mentor. Music has always been an essential part of MaaD’s life being born into a household where music was a great passion. Music for him was a form of escapism, a body used to channel thought. MaaD decided to transform his passion into career.

MaaD’s remixing debut came in 2013. To feed his constant hunger for music and exploration, developing a sharp ear for the dance floor and a wealth of production skill, his own unique slant on house and Electro music was born – incorporating live instrumentation and drawing on influences from as wide as Jamie Jones to Jimi Hendrix! In jaunary 2015, MaaD launched his own radio show and podcast, MaaD On Noise Radio Show. It is being broadcast on various international radio stations. Additionally, the podcast has a spot on iTunes.The Noise Radio Show: Now a regular standing fixture in the Electro, Progressive, House and Trance enthusiasts listening schedule, MaaD On Noise Radio Show exports their diverse sound around the world every week.
