Mini bio
How it started.
Hamza grew up in Ad Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. At university in Alexandria, he developed his guitar, oud and keyboard playing and formed Nomaira with fellow students. Campus audiences came before his solo career.
Finding his audience.
Awakening signed him in 2007 and released his debut Dream With Me the following year. Insan followed in July 2011. His later songs, including “Dari Ya Alby” and “Fady Shewaya,” became central to his catalogue.
Songs with room for everyday life.
His music draws on Egyptian traditional and folk music alongside pop, rock and jazz. Through Remix on Al Araby, he explores regional folk songs and poetry, then brings them into new performances.
