Mini bio

How it started.

Assala grew up in Damascus with a singer and composer for a father. Mostafa Nasri encouraged her talent, and she began singing at four. Her early work included children’s and religious songs, plus the theme for the animated series Hekayat Alamiyah.

Finding her audience.

Law Ta’rafou launched her commercial career in 1991. Its four songs drew on Egyptian tarab, and “Ya Sabra Yana” and “Samehtak Ketir” helped introduce her to a wider Arab audience. Her later catalogue moves through Egyptian pop, Khaleeji and Levantine music.

Songs across borders.

In 2019, she joined Ryan Tedder, Avril Lavigne, Luis Fonsi, Hussain Al Jassmi and Tamer Hosny on “Right Where I’m Supposed to Be,” the official Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi anthem. Recent albums include Thumma Ana, Daribet El Bo3d and the Syrian Album.

A homecoming.

In September 2026, Assala returned to the Damascus stage after more than 16 years. Her new Syrian Album gathered traditional songs associated with the country’s 14 governorates, connecting her latest music with the place where she first learned to sing.
