He is also a promoter and performer of the works of some great Bulgarian contemporary composers such as Marin Goleminov and Pancho Vladigerov.
Hossen has participated as a musical guest to the TEDx event in (Sofia) TEDxVitosha on 27 January 2018 dedicated to "Happy People".
He is artistic director of the oldest music festival in Bulgaria, the "Varna Summer International Music Festival".
