Al Shami

Full / Real Name: Abdul Rahman Fawaz

Abdul Rahman Fawaz, born on 1 June 2002, is a Syrian singer‑songwriter who performs under the stage name Al Shami (Arabic: الشامي). Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Syria in the early 2020s, he quickly gained regional attention by blending traditional Levantine maqam scales with contemporary pop and electronic production. His breakout single “Ya Leil W Yal Ein” amassed hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, establishing him as one of the most streamed Arab pop artists across the Middle East and North Africa. Al Shami’s follow‑up hit “Sabran” cemented his reputation for crafting emotive, dance‑floor‑ready tracks that retain a distinct Arabic melodic identity. Known for his smooth tenor voice and lyrical focus on love, longing, and modern urban life, he has been nominated for several regional music awards, including the MENA Music Awards for Best New Artist. He continues to collaborate with leading producers and DJs, pushing the boundaries of Arab urban music while staying rooted in his Syrian heritage.
