Moez Masoud: Here to Stay
(Independent / October 9, 2024)

Can music change minds about the Middle East? Egyptian artist Moez Masoud is collaborating with Healthworkers 4 Palestine on a global ceasefire campaign for Gaza.

The music, and the message, are universal. 

Music can make us see the humanity in issues and events that are taking place across the world, that here in North America we only see in the headlines.

That's the barrier that Moez Masoud aims to crack with the song Here To Stay. Singer and songwriter Sherif Mostafa is the face behind the artist name. 

For peace without justice can never be real...

The song is (appropriately) moody and darker in tone. You can check out the video, which is restricted by age, on Youtube HERE
