Tamino is a Belgian singer/songwriter who rose to international fame in the late 2010s with his blend of dark, moody indie rock and classical Arabic melodic accents. Born and raised in Belgium and of Egyptian and Lebanese heritage, his sound reflects his own complex identity, and his idiosyncratic style soon made fans of artists like Lana Del Rey, who invited him on tour, and Radiohead's Colin Greenwood, who appeared on his debut album, 2018's Amir. Tamino followed with his sophomore set, 2022's Sahar. Basing himself in New York, he recorded his third album, 2025's Every Dawn's a Mountain, whose lead single "Babylon" previewed the LP's oud-based arrangements.
