In his shows, he mixes the American style with influences from his culture and those he learned throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p>His grandfather introduced Youssef as a kid to the tradition of the muezzins, the person appointed at a mosque to lead and recite the call to prayer. This was his introduction to using his voice as an instrument and to music itself.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the artist moved to the capital city of Tunis to study at a conservatory. Then he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he connected with different musical cultures, including the Indian one.<\/p>\n<p>The musician now has an international career.
