Ali Hussain Creative Director / CEO Address: Doha - Qatar Date of Birth: January 26th, 1991 A Bit About Me My career journey has navigated two parallel paths, merging technical precision with creative expression. After high school, I undertook specialized training in instrumentation through the Qatar Petroleum Technician Preparation Program. This foundation led to a role at QAFAC in the Maintenance Department, where I honed my skills in analyzing and troubleshooting complex instrumentation issues. This experience taught me how to identify the root causes of problems and develop effective solutions to enhance operational efficiency. ​ These troubleshooting skills proved invaluable when I transitioned to managing Cochineal Production Company. The ability to analyze complex situations, address underlying issues, and implement solutions was crucial in navigating the challenges of running a creative business. My technical background provided a solid framework for problem-solving and process improvement, allowing me to manage projects more effectively and drive innovation. ​ Simultaneously, I pursued various artistic projects, including composing music, drawing, photography, theater, event management, and artistic production. My dedication to continuous learning led me to enroll in acting and directing diploma at Community College, alongside management courses at Al Jazeera Institute and other institutions. ​ The COVID-19 pandemic marked a pivotal moment in my career. I used the quarantine period to deepen my knowledge and establish Cochineal Production Company. As restrictions eased, I was able to rapidly scale production efforts, demonstrating resilience and adaptability. ​ Looking ahead, my primary focus is to launch innovative programs designed for children, including a new music program, a media program, and a theatrical program. These initiatives aim to nurture a new generation of artists, media content creators, and technical professionals in production. Leveraging my technical troubleshooting skills and creative expertise, I aspire to foster creativity and technical proficiency from a young age, contributing to a vibrant and skilled future generation in the arts and media. ​ Today, I continue to integrate my dual expertise to lead impactful projects and explore new opportunities, with a clear vision of shaping the future of artistic and technical fields.

MY STORY I was born on January 26, 1991, and I have always been passionate about the arts in all its forms. I was captivated by visual arts, especially expressionism and abstraction, even though I didn't understand these terms in my childhood. I fell in love with the guitar, though I don't recall where I heard it for the first time. I adored theater and acting without realizing I had talent. I've loved experimenting since I was young; I am outgoing, ambitious, and enjoy movement and exploration. I developed a love for the Quran and the Arabic language from an early age. In school theater, during the fifth grade, I played leading roles in a single play. I learned singing and Photoshop in the sixth grade, learned guitar and wrote poetry in the eighth grade, and took up photography in the tenth grade. I entered the professional world in the twelfth grade. At the age of twenty-one, I released my first song and participated in my first exhibition. By twenty-three, I built my first studio, learned music production, and traveled to the U.S. to produce a song. I participated in exhibitions and painting workshops, composed many different works, and founded my first production company at the age of twenty-nine. My goal is to support every talented individual in my country and to establish a strong foundation for them, so I can see Qatar at the forefront of culture and the arts. My Work The story isn’t over yet. I aspire to become an artist, and I recognize that I still have much to learn. The journey into the world of art is long and ever-evolving, and I believe it will never truly end.
