It is a privilege to partner with the brand that pioneered the art of truly understanding the critical need for a great audio experience on smartphones. I look forward to creating a strong sense of engagement with the fans of HTC across the region, with brilliant, unique experiences not only through music but also through their ground breaking camera technology."

HTC appreciates the ‘challenger' spirit that he has built his success on, and we are happy to collaborate with him in a long-term strategic partnership to offer our users and fans the opportunity to interact more closely with this contemporary icon. Using the universal and language-agnostic platform of music and sound, which is also HTC's strongest pillar and advantage, Hamaki and HTC will create matchless premium opportunities and memories for the Arab world."
