Mini bio
How it started.
Amr Diab grew up in Port Said, Egypt, with encouragement from his father. His official biography recalls a performance at age six that earned him a guitar from the governor. He released his first album, Ya Tareea, in 1983 and graduated in Arabic music from the Cairo Academy of Arts in 1986.
A sound that travelled.
His music blends Egyptian rhythms with Western influences. Nour El Ain brought international success in 1996, followed by Amarain in 1999 and Tamally Maak in 2000. The Amarain album includes duets with Cheb Khaled and Angela Dimitriou.
Still making new music.
Ebtadena brought Jana and Abdallah Diab into his recorded work in 2025. In 2026, he followed it with the 12-track Habeitek and composed songs including “Bahawel” and “Lola El Banat.”
