How UAE rock band Karman Line juggles day jobs, from cabin crew to advertising, with an international push
Down a rather solemn row of buildings in Al Quoz sits a studio lit low enough to feel like a confession booth, guitars leaning against every wall, drums waiting, cables coiled in the corner. It takes a while to untangle them, but much like their own songwriting and production process, the band perseveres through every knot, waiting to unravel the next one. And here's where we meet Karman Line.…
In a dimly lit studio in Al Quoz, UAE, the band Karman Line bustles with energy on a Tuesday morning. The five members—Greg Brown, Frank Bassiouni, Simone Nisi, Petar Milošević, and Danny Langston—have carved out demanding day jobs to pursue their shared passion for music. Brown, a cabin crew member, and Milošević, a cabin crew member, lead the band as lead vocals and guitar, lead guitar and backing vocals, and guitar respectively. Nisi and Langston contribute their skills as guitar and drums.
The band's journey began during the pandemic when they started writing songs together during weekly acoustic guitar sessions. As their ideas accumulated, they formalized the group and began working with producer Sandeep Sequiera. After two years of hard work, they released their album at The Fridge in Dubai in 2023, which quickly gained popularity. Despite the band members' demanding day jobs, Karman Line remains committed to music and aims to make it their full-time occupation.
