Mustapha El Fekak, famous for ‘Swinga’, was born in Casablanca, Morocco. He graduated from high school
without a clear vision of what studies he should pursue. Therefore, he decided to immerse himself in his
passion : making videos. As time passed by, he realised that he was going on the wrong track. That’s why he
thought that he should get a diploma to feel confident in a job interview.

Mustapha started studying computer networking in daytime as well as going to the circus in the evening and
learning how to edit videos at night. At the age of 25, he enrolled in the National School of Circus in Salé and
studied there for three years. In the meantime, he was still making videos that engrossed him. Along with his
studies, Mustapha created web series called ‘Hormoz’ on YouTube which went viral in 2012. Everybody saw it.

In 2013, Mustapha worked with Abdelah Abujad, a Moroccan producer on educational videos that
showed positive results. Thanks to this experience, he started to excel in making videos, short films
and series on YouTube. ‘Aji Tafham’ is a good example that attracted the attention of many Internet
users and companies.

In 2014, Mustapha won ‘the Creations of the Year’ Award in the Maroc Web Awards contest. A year after, he
created his own company and employed more than 30 people. His clients include ministries and companies.
Mustapha is a good example that shows how one can turn his passion into a profession.
