His music draws inspiration from a wide range of genres, including rockabilly, soul, and even hip-hop. His raw and gritty vocals combined with his skillful guitar playing create an electrifying live performance that leaves audiences wanting more.

Whether you're a fan of garage rock or simply appreciate good music, Hanni El Khatib's discography is sure to have something for everyone.

Innovative Leisure is an independent record company based in Los Angeles. Founded in 2010 by Hanni El Khatib, Jamie Strong, and Nate Nelson, the label has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
With a focus on nurturing and promoting emerging talent, Innovative Leisure has become known for its diverse roster of artists spanning various genres. From rock and punk to soul and electronic music, the label prides itself on pushing boundaries and challenging conventional norms.
Driven by a passion for creativity and innovation, Innovative Leisure continues to discover and support groundbreaking musicians who are redefining the sound of today. With their finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary music trends, this label is at the forefront of shaping the future of independent music.

On his 2011 debut 'Will The Guns Come Out', Hanni El Khatib tried something he'd never tried before - making a bedroom style recording of his stripped brand of rock'n'roll mostly for the sheer joy of making it. For his ferocious 2013 follow-up 'Head In The Dirt', he tried something new again, enlisting Dan Auerbach as a producer. But after 'Head In The Dirt's release and almost a year of relentless touring, Hanni knew he needed to go past 'unpredictable' all the way to 'unprecedented.' He needed isolation, time and the chance to experiment. So after 30 days locked in hand-picked L.A. studio The Lair, the result is the album 'Moonlight' - the rarest and most welcome kind of album, made at that perfect point in life where confidence, experience, and technique unite to help an artist do anything they want. That's why it starts with a song that sounds like a Mobb Deep beat under a Suicide-style synth drone and ends with an ESG-meets-LCD Soundsystem gone italo-disco song about life and death. That's why it collides crushing crate-digger drumbeats that'd be right at home on a Can LP or an Eddie Bo 45 with bleeding distorto guitar, bent and broken barroom piano and hallucinatory analog flourishes.
