About

Samer Fanek is an award-winning Jordanian-Polish pianist, composer and producer of instrumental piano music. Known for his piano-based orchestral compositions, which blend modern synthesizers with orchestral textures, Samer’s music ranges from powerful and dramatic to gentle and introspective, including delicate piano solos.
His work has earned him several accolades, including a win in the Great American Song Contest for best instrumental song, several silver medals in the Global Music Awards, and nominations in the Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA). His debut album also made the 59th Grammy® Awards first-round ballot in the Best New Age Album category.

To date, he has released four studio albums: “Call of the Desert” (2022), “Polarized” (2020), “Guide Me” (2018), and “Wishful Thinking” (2016). Each of these albums has received critical acclaim, debuting at #1 on Amazon.com charts within their genre, with Wishful Thinking also reaching #12 on the US New Age Billboard charts.
