A music critic once described Dawoud as ",,, the Jimi Hendrix of the sitar." Inspired by the vast musical traditions from around the world - east and west, acoustic and electronic, modern and ancient - these varied genres provide a creative and sacred inspiration for Dawoud. Through his artistic vision and unprecedented use of the Indian sitar and dilruba. If Dawoud's music could be defined, it would be World - Jazz Fusion. It's a jazz experience from an other-worldly realm; a New Age experience with a Downbeat / electronica edge. His music is peaceful, and will awaken within you a hidden source of energy as a friend and guide on your journey.
