AMR DIAB Amr Diab was born in Port Said, Egypt and was brought up in a family of artistic sensibility. His father, Abdul Basset Diab, worked for the Suez Canal Corporation where he was chairman of Marine Construction & Shipbuilding. He possessed a fine singing voice and encouraged young Amr to sing. One evening, when Amr was just 6 years old, his father took him to the July 23rd Festival at Port Said There they visited the local broadcasting station and Amr sang the National Anthem "Biladi, Biladi". He was praised by the Governor of Port Said who awarded him with a guitar as a prize.
In due course Amr began his musical studies at the music faculty of the Cairo Academy of Art and from which he graduated in 1986. His first album "Ya Tareeq" followed shortly. It was an instant success. There have been, since then, a further 16 albums all of which have helped maintain his position as the super-star of the Arab world. Fame brought with it the need to travel and Amr has traveled widely organizing galas and concerts. His tours have included Australia, Canada & the USA. In many countries he was the most famous Arab singer ever to visit them. In 1990 Amr was chosen to represent Egypt at the 5th Tournament of African Sports where he sang in English and French as well as Arabic. This concert was televised by satellite throughout the Arab world and mentioned on CNN. Amr became known for the new ‘style’ and rhythm in his music and which the Arabs came to call "Mediterranean Music". Amr was awarded 3 Platinum Discs and was named, by most satellite and TV stations, as the Best Singer in the Arab World during the four years following 1992. Amr Diab was the first Arab artist to make a video clip. He has acted in three films including "Dhahk We La’ab" (Laughter & Fun), a film which opened the Egyptian Film Festival in 1993. In this film, directed by Tarek Al Telmasani, Amr played opposite the world famous Egyptian actor Omar Sharif. In the film "Ice Cream…" Amr played the role of the main hero. The film was directed by Khairi Bishara. New Arab records have been set by Diab in the sale of his CDs and cassettes. His nickname is Rebellious – due, it is said, to comparisons made with his contemporaries, in all aspects of life, that is to say in regard to clothes, hairstyling, the performance and execution of his music, the melodies he composes and his many appearances at parties. He has already been the subject of three biographies – Amr Diab, the owner of my heart, The Rebellious and Amr Diab, Star of the 20th Century. 1996 saw the release of the album "Nour El Ain" which was a tremendous success not only in the Middle East but throughout the entire world and was a huge hit in countries as far afield as Argentina, Chile, France and South Africa. The song was remixed by several top European remixers and has become a big pull on the dance floors of Europe. The video clip, which was produced by Alam El Phan for the song "Nour El Ain", was one of the most lavish and expensive productions in the field of Arab song. The song, and its English version "Habibe" was an international phenomenon. In 1997 Amr Diab won three Awards at the Annual Yearly Arabic Festival (for Best Video, Best Song and Artist of the Year). In 1998 Amr received a Triple Platinum Album for the sales of "Nour El Ain" and furthermore for the first time an Arabic artist received the Worldwide Music Award in Monaco on 6 May 1998, under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco. "Nour El Ain" has been the best selling album ever to date for an Arabic artist. His last studio album titled "AWEDONY" was released in July 1998, produced with the support of Hamid El Shary and recorded in Cairo, Egypt. The First video from the album "AWEDONY" was shot by the river Nile in Egypt and is directed by Tareq Al Aryan. Like its predecessor this album has been a huge success for Amr and reinforced his popularity in the Arab world. The "Best of Amr Diab" contains a brand new song " " recorded as a tribute to the Legends of Arabic music such as Omm Kolsoum, Abdel Halim, Mohammed Abdul Wahab that have influenced him. Its certain to be another big hit for Amr, the album also contains a previously unreleased European remix of Habibe, and the best songs from Amr’s most popular recent albums.
