Akram's music sound is influenced by masters of the Arabic classical music who inspired him to crystallize his own musical philosophy, and he has learned from international and Arab master musicians of the modern time, who helped refine and nurture his talent

Drawing inspiration from Hindu,Turkish, and Persian styles, he blends the rich legacy of oriental sounds with modern expressions influenced by western folk, Jazz, and Rock.
