00:00I'm usually the the guy that just has a guitar hanging around

00:18What three things would you take with you to a desert island good question

00:23I'd probably take my phone

00:25Hopefully, there's some reception out there and get me out of there or I could speak to people

00:30I definitely bring my guitar because I feel like if I was stuck there that would help get me through that

00:36Can I bring a person? I think I'd bring Bear Grylls. He does like all these survival shows

00:41I think he'd probably find some way to train a camel to help us run out or something

00:47Question two you can sing a duet with anyone in the world if I could go back in time, I'd say Amy Winehouse

00:54Okay

00:56Question three you filmed the music video for your new song wanderlust in India. What surprised you most about that trip?

01:03There's just a really big buzz and energy going around and it was really hard for us to just pick something to film because there's

01:10So much happening around you. You can only listen to one album for the rest of time. What do you pick?

01:16this is really tough my

01:18Playlists at home is just a mix of all different types of genres and artists

01:23It would probably be something by John Mayer

01:26There's also a band called the cat Empire that I really admire there

01:29I think an Australian band with trumpets and all sorts of nice instruments going on. How do you feel about Arsenal finishing fifth class?

01:42I think this is

01:44Yeah, it was it was really tough. I flew to Baku to see them lose in the final of the Europa League, which was

01:52Kind of bittersweet, but hey, hopefully they do better this season would support the the team through thick and thin

01:58So you're Lebanese Canadian? What's the most Lebanese thing about you and the most Canadian thing about you? I

02:05Say a a lot. I put maple syrup on everything. I tend to say sorry, even though I don't need to Lebanese side

02:11I love Lebanese food. There's this Lebanese banter. I've really good work ethic as well

02:16So which actor would play you in the movie of your life?

02:21Meryl Streep

02:23She could probably pull it off though

02:26Well, if I had to pick someone who looks like me I

02:30Don't really know. I think maybe a young Al Pacino would do quite well. We can go back in time

02:36I'm done here

02:37But thank you very much for having me and it's been a pleasure to do the black box with the Gulf News tabloid. Thank you

02:56Somewhere no one knows us call it wonder
