Popular 'Voice of Dubai' artist teams up with autistic children, helps them create their own 'audio brands'
As the world marks Autism Awareness Month this April, Dubai-based voice-over artist Ahmed Haffar has teamed up with local charity Heroes of Hope to give autistic children a chance to create music. The initiative involves creating a four-second melody, known as sonic branding, with each child, providing a unique opportunity for them to express themselves creatively.
At Mindloops Studio, Haffar worked with Saif, a 14-year-old autistic child, to write and sing his own rap. The lyrics, "I do what I do best. I keep track of the rest. I upgrade my own time. I live my own life," were simple but empowering.
