Al Shami: The award-winning, record-breaking force dominating stages worldwide
The global music landscape is witnessing the meteoric rise of a true phenomenon. Middle Eastern Syrian-born music sensation, Al Shami, isn’t just making waves; he’s creating tidal waves of success.
Fresh off securing a Guinness World Record as the youngest artist ever to reach Number 1 on a Billboard Arabic chart, his accolades and achievements continue to multiply at an astonishing pace. Further underscoring his industry dominance, he recently swept up an incredible FOUR Billboard Arabia Music Awards in 2025, cementing his status as a critical and commercial titan.
The record-breaking ascent and industry acclaim
Let’s recap the foundations of this incredible journey: Al Shami (born Abdul Rahman Fawaz in Syria, now based in Türkiye) was a remarkable 22 years and 55 days old when his evocative track “Wein” (“Where”) debuted at the coveted No.1 spot on the Billboard Arabic Hot 100 chart on July 27, 2024.
This simultaneously propelled him to the top of Billboard’s Arabic Artist 100. Adding to this historic chart success, his haul of four Billboard Arabia Music Awards in 2025 speaks volumes about his artistic merit and profound impact on the music scene.
Digital Empire & Unmatched Fan Connection
Al Shami’s success is amplified by a colossal digital footprint:
