From The Crowd: A Community-Led Shift in the Event Industry

From The Crowd: A Community-Led Shift in the Event Industry

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia -
From The Crowd was not built from a boardroom. It was built from the crowd.

The company was founded on a simple but radical idea: the audience, artists, and creatives deserve an event culture that represents them. In a market dominated by repetitive formats and surface-level production, From The Crowd emerged as a community-led response-driven by people who wanted more authenticity, more identity, and more artistic respect.

At the center of this movement is Jawad Fahad Alharthi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, who leads the brand with a vision rooted in culture, psychology, and creative integrity.

Leadership Driven by Culture, Not Convention

Jawad Fahad Alharthi approaches From The Crowd as a cultural platform rather than a traditional events company. With a background in psychology, he designs experiences around how people feel, connect, and express themselves in collective spaces.

His leadership philosophy is grounded in:
• Community-first thinking - building events shaped by the crowd, not just by commercial trends.
• Artistic integrity - protecting creative identity, not diluting it for mass appeal.
• Representation and culture - ensuring artists, visuals, and audiences are genuinely reflected, not exploited.

⸻

Visual Identity, Arts, and Representation at the Core

From The Crowd places strong emphasis on visual identity, spatial design, and artistic direction-elements often overlooked in mainstream event production. Every event is treated as a curated environment where sound, light, architecture, and branding come together as a single artistic statement.

The company believes that nightlife and live events are cultural spaces, and culture deserves intention, aesthetics, and representation.

Artists at the Center: From The Artists Program

Unlike traditional promoters, From The Crowd prioritizes the creative ecosystem itself. This philosophy led to the creation of "From The Artists", a private event program exclusively for artists.

From The Artists is designed as a curated gathering where DJs, producers, and creatives connect, collaborate, and gain opportunities in an environment built for growth-not competition. The initiative reflects the company's commitment to empowering talent and building a sustainable creative community.

⸻

A Community, Not Just an Audience

From The Crowd is not just an events company-it is a community-driven platform that believes the crowd can shape culture, not just consume it. The brand exists to give space to emerging artists, experimental concepts, and a generation that values identity, art, and connection over generic entertainment.

Under Jawad Fahad Alharthi's leadership, From The Crowd aims to redefine how events are designed, how artists are supported, and how communities experience culture in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
