TheGenShift: Evolution of Music in the UAE from the 70s to Today
kanvas Dubai recently hosted TheGenShift, a dynamic cultural dialogue and creative masterclass led by the incomparable Julie E Gordon, performer, mentor, and creative entrepreneur.

The event, named after the popular podcast of the same title, brought together voices from multiple generations to explore the exciting evolution of music, style, and culture in the UAE, from the vibrant sounds of the 1970s to today’s diverse musical landscape.

More than a conversation, TheGenShift was a unique experience where stories intertwined with creative insights, reflecting how music shapes identity and community over time. At kanvas, we take pride in creating immersive spaces that foster meaningful connections between people, brands, and artists. We turn dialogue into inspiration and creativity, while Julie’s work unite generations, allowing new ideas to emerge and helping us see the broader picture of who we are together. These two forces joined at kanvas to celebrate the rich tapestry of the UAE’s musical heritage and its exciting future.
