About the album:
This album is a Rock masterpiece produced and recorded at (Tube Studio).
(Star I am) the album name idea came from an old song that James wrote based on a true story, about lost soul in it's own darkest memories, this soul became the story teller to the one and only true friend and the last hope which it's the star in the sky.
Soul medicine man/ VudoDoc
A physician-turned Musician, soul medicine man is a phenomenon brought about through generational struggle and oppression, at the critical age of 33 he was hit by the mid life crisis, he was thrown from one hardship to another, and before his eyes his former life crumbled, he was left with the realisations and mindfulness of past mistakes, wasted years, and pretentious company In the end, as he now transitions forward into the painful transformation of who he truly is, the goals of his music career materialize before his eyes ; to be a beacon of knowledge and guidance for souls who have been beaten down and lost their path, he has the first hand experience, he is the soul medicine man..
More About VudoDoc
Covers From Hell Short Story
Covers from hell started as a challenge contest between JM (Main artists/Composer) and his loyal fans on Instagram
Faced with a stalemate on the way to stardom, James decided he wanted to deviate from his conventional approach to ROCK music (which is his signature music) and engage with fans on a new platform
The challenge began as song requests from fans, James had dared his fans on INSTAGRAM and gave them voting polls for songs quite distant from his musical comfort zone
And songs like famous hit OLD TOWN ROAD, worldwide smashing hit BADGUY, and TALAT DAQAT (an Egyptian pop favourite) came first on the voting polls
Stretching out ,James had at that time been nurturing a relationship with a budding singer/songwriter Ramy Ramadan, who has recently started etching his way into the local music scene in Egypt under the Music Alias:VUDODOC
Together they tackled this new project and Covers from Hell was born
The album also contains collaborations of various sorts, one of which is with a promising young Rock vocalist:ALEX, originally from Argentina but been in Egypt for a long time, the meeting was fated, and James and Alex had their first joint effort in the form of the Iconic Led Zeppelin Cover song :Black DOG.
The album is far from finished, the music competition that James started a while ago has spiraled into a life of its own, and although the music composition is done solely by James, the music itself is always evolving with new innovative ways to address the taste of the fan base and Express the originality of Arab musicians even in the form of cover songs.
James has opened the door to more challenges and ideas, what comes forth is anybody's guess.

Arabic Lyrics
ملقتش نفسي فالنور اخترت الضلمة ليا بيت، قعدت اعدي في بحور فتّحت لقيتني ما ابتديت
كل يوم بنزل و اعيد انزل اكحت في الحديد
عشت ضالمة مشوفتوهاش كنت شب عالمعاش
انزل و في طاقة ابني نفسي من جديد، ارجع بهموم الدنيا مصدي كالحديد
قتلوا فيا طفولة قلتلوا فيا الامل قتلوا فيا فرصة نجاحى المحتمل
موت كل يوم
عايش بالهوم
بموت كل يوم
لسا عايش في الهموم
ايه يابني اللي قساك ليه من جوا متحجر، الناس كلها نسياك و محدش فيك بيفكر
قابلت ناس كتير عشت معاهم ايام, كل يوم عدى لجموني بلجام
مش بالعشرة ولا السنين لما وقعت لقيت مين
وقت الفرحة موجودين، لما احتجت روحتوا فين
وشك باين عليه انه شب بس شاب, شكلك كمان قسيت من الخبط على الابواب
بموت كل يوم
عايش بالهوم
بموت كل يوم
لسا عايش في الهموم

English Lyrics
Oh son what has made you cruel ,you are stone-heavy on the inside, everybody forgot you and no one remembers your name,
I've seen so mane people with whom I lived for days
but every day that passed they curbed me with a rein, It's not companionship that matters, nor the amount of years because who was there among you when I fell, only when times are happy are you present, but when I needed you the most you weren't there, my face though young looks wrinkled, suffering from knocking on doors that never open
I'm dying everyday
Living with trouble
Dying everyday
Still living with the burdens
When I couldn't find myself in the light, I chose darkness as my home, I spent my time crossing endless seas only to find myself at square one,
Every day ,rinse and repeat, I carve into merciless iron, I've seen darkness you haven't seen, I was young man, dying on the inside,
Every time I work with energy to build from scratch, I come back plagued with depression that eats at me, they killed my inner child, they murdered my hope, they suffocated my sole chance of success
I'm dying everyday
Living with trouble
Dying everyday
Still living with the burdens
Edited by Ramy Ramadan
Nothing left for me
A song in the style of Dark country, first of it's kind, based on a true story, in the earlier phases of development, the song was exposed to fellow musicians and close friends whose only feedback was
"Fresh style, full of enthusiasm, pristine vocals and haunting guitars"
"Every we listen to the song, we feel sad but happy, we want to listen again and again "
"It empowers us against the societal bullying and injustice "
"The song has deeper meanings, full of cosmology and mystery"
Nothing left for me lyrics
Walking past and a million miles looking back,
The devil’s on my heels
Made a pact, lost my soul, sold it cheap,
Wish I knew that it would be in vain
I trade my soul for fortune fame,
Gone for all the gold I even changed my name,
Something tells me I should stay,
Cover all the pain and chase my blues away,
Never goin’ back, never goin’ back
Nothin’ left for me
Freedom up ahead, freedom up ahead
Burnin’ in my veins
Desert spanning silver sky, silver sky
Orion’s belt is leading to the moonlight road
Cosmic light permeates and my conscience fades
The snake is rising through
All the storms and the fights and the pain
are the music of my destiny
Never goin’ back, never goin’ back
Nothin’ left for me
Freedom up ahead, freedom up ahead
Burnin’ in my veins
