Samer Fanek (Arabic: سامر الفانك, born December 11, 1986) is an award-winning pianist, keyboardist, composer and producer of piano instrumental music. He has a longtime dream to create instrumental songs that have an enduring emotional impact on people, hoping that his songs will travel from his small home studio to the world stage, where he aspires to perform them alongside talented musicians and orchestras for everyone to experience.

charts.
Samer’s music has garnered multiple awards and nominations, including a win in the Great American Song
Contest for best instrumental song, several silver medals in the Global Music Awards, and nominations in the
Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) in 2016, 2019 and 2021. His debut album also made the 59th
Grammy® Awards first-round ballot in the Best New Age Album category.

Growing up in Amman, Jordan, he discovered his passion for music as a teenager, teaching himself to play the piano by ear through trial and error. His love for music deepened as he started experimenting with music production software, learning to blend the sounds of various instruments to evoke specific emotions. This self-driven exploration led him to meticulously recreate many of his favorite radio songs from scratch. As his skills developed, Samer began sharing his instrumental and piano solo arrangements on YouTube, gradually building an audience of over 8,000 subscribers. Encouraged by this positive reception, he turned his focus to composing and releasing original music, with his unique compositions resonating with listeners worldwide and amassing over 2.7 million streams on Spotify.
