Zamzam the Originalman & MellyOmatic

M.E.L.L.Y.(Mind Elevated, Living, Loving, Yearnin)

About Me

Zamzam, writer, musician, Professional photographer, spokenword and master drummer. Utilising my studio I express the fire within through sound. I have a special interest in working with and producing poets. Zamzam ( MeccaZam ) Zamzam the OriginalMan & the MellyOmatic http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?s..8114&T=5277

Jazzy enough to attract fans of fusion nu jazz, and downtempo and trip hop, yet consistently melodic enough to satisfy lovers of neo-soul. He can’t be pinned down. A percussionist at a very young age and exposed to music from all over the world.

Ever since people began to organize sound into patterns of pitch and rhythm, music has always been a source of energy and inspiration. Soulful melodies soar above hip-hop influenced rhythms.


In the bosom of creativity rest the work of true talent. It is in that coveted space that the artistic boundaries are limitless; therefore, natural instinct and skill can manifest itself in a healthy manner. He likes to write music and vibe that he feels from his inner "mind elevated, living, loving, yearning"(M.E.L.L.Y.), he calls this sound . "I make music for and from the soul. I'm not scared to throw a little of my sensitivity in. The music is the mind".


MeccaZam, a musical jack of trades. doing keys and synthesizer manipulation, and electronic and percussion music. He has proven to be quite a prducer/arranger. His real obsession is with recording what he and others create in the MeccaZam studio.

" I am currently on the absorption side of creation. From logic, intelligence, and any kind of creativity that causes forward thinking and some kind of art ".


Zamzam views his compositions as a means of getting away from just writing music. They are inspired by the thought that the work generates an atmosphere and depth of feeling that instills something beyond visual interpretation, appearing differently to each individual listener.

Melodies, vocals, sampled breaks, space, mathematics, incidental parts, all merges together and evolve. Zamzam constructs, deconstructs, reconstructs. Feeling out the interaction between the sounds, creating a fluid mix, building it in layers until the final composition couldn't be further from its origin.

Zamzam is a percussionist with The "Snake Doctors". Also a professional photographer for over18 years. Some of the portfolio can be viewed at http://visage.homestead.com/Photography.htmlhttp://www.soulc ommune.com/profile/Zamzam
