Maneli Jamal is a solo acoustic guitarist, offering a new perspective on
approaching the acoustic guitar with influences from both the east and west
combined. Having dedicated himself to the exploration of acoustic guitar
technique, Maneli has developed his own sound. Folk, Flamenco, and Persian modes
combine with his own percussive technique creating a rich and unique voice on
the guitar.
Persian by blood and raised in Germany, Maneli moved to the States in his
adolescence, immigrating to Minnesota before relocating to Austin, Texas until
his late teens. At this time, his family was issued a letter of deportation by
the immigration office, and were forced to claim refuge in Canada within thirty
days of receiving the notice. Taking literally only what they could fit in their
hands, Maneli arrived in Toronto with his guitar which has scarcely left his
hands since.
Having lived in 4 different countries and moved 20 times by the time he was 18,
Maneli has let his experiences around the world influence the way he speaks with
the guitar.
Maneli received first place in the online YouTube acoustic guitar competition
for Taylor guitars and Faith Guitars, placed in the finals for Guitar Idol 2009,
has released his debut album featuring 14 tracks of all original compositions,
and is endorsed by Cole Clark guitars.
