FOUNDERWahid Gomes
As a child growing up in New England, Wahid was always intrigued by music. He grew up listening to jazz, blues, funk, and R&B. He later found himself in the streets, break-dancing and emulating the hip-hop acts of that time.
In elementary and junior high schools, Wahid played drums and guitar in the school bands. Shortly after that, he and his rap group, Tremble & Bass, were unable to find a suitable DJ, so Wahid offered to take on the role for the group. Honing his skills as a DJ, he quickly gained notoriety spinning at parties, clubs, and weddings. Armed with his turntables and a keyboard, he started programming music for his group and numerous other local acts.
In 2001 he began his internship with Embryo Records in Las Vegas. During that time he was enrolled in a advance Audio Engineering and Protools course under the watchful eye of Tom Parham. Some of his production credits include NBA star Tyrone Nesby, BMX champion TJ Lavin, and R&B artist extraordinaire Reno McFarland. He also worked with legendary composer and songwriter Gary Picus.
Wahid returned back to Atlanta in 2003, fully inspired and ready to conquer the world. He hit the ground running, attempting to build contacts within the music industry. He had some minor successes interning with DTP (Disturbing The Peace) and Jagged Edges’s newly formed Label.
After hearing more no’s than yes’s and feeling like a complete outsider, Wahid decided to start his own record label in 2007 “Dammahum Entertainment” which quickly morphed into Dammahum Recording Studio.
