Born and raised in Lebanon, Kareem Al Darwish, professionally known as DJ Kash, grew up surrounded by musical instruments, recording studios, and a world infused with creativity — an environment that naturally ignited his passion for music. With a family that deeply values the arts, including a mother who is a painter, creativity was not just encouraged; it was a way of life. From an early age, Kareem was drawn to sound, rhythm, and the art of musical storytelling — passions that would later define his path.
He pursued his academic studies in Radio and Television at the American University of Science and Technology, building a solid foundation in media, communication, and production. What began as curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong vocation. Today, DJ Kash stands as a seasoned DJ and music producer with over 18 years of experience, performing across Beirut and Egypt, and currently based in Egypt.
Throughout his career, he has played at some of the most iconic venues, including The Lemon Tree, Kazan, NOI, La Casa, One Beach House, Mood Rooftop, Bar de Port, Brasserie, and many more. Each stage has honed his craft, sharpening his ability to read a crowd and transform every performance into a unique, immersive musical journey. For Kareem, a set is never just a collection of songs — it is a narrative, a carefully constructed experience designed to move, inspire, and connect with his audience.
One of his proudest achievements is the deep connection he has built with his fans — people who return night after night, drawn to his talent and passion. He approaches music with seriousness and dedication, striving to make every night unforgettable, crafting moments where the crowd feels seen, engaged, and part of a shared celebration. His greatest strength lies in his ability to leave a lasting emotional imprint, introducing listeners to songs they didn’t even know they wanted to hear.
Kareem’s journey has not been without its challenges. Leaving Beirut and starting anew in Egypt demanded resilience, perseverance, and unwavering belief in his craft. He worked tirelessly to establish his name, grow a new audience, and earn the trust of venues — eventually becoming a sought-after DJ whose presence guarantees an electrifying night.
Driven by the vision to spread his music across the world, Kareem believes that a skilled DJ can shape the identity of any venue, turning every event into an unforgettable experience. He values those who truly appreciate art, admires DJs who dedicate themselves to their craft, and holds steadfast to principles of planning, precision, and unwavering focus. His ultimate dream is to tour globally, sharing the spirit of Lebanese energy, dance, and celebration with audiences everywhere.
