Ramy Ayach

Ramy Ayach born in 1980 is the youngest of three brothers brought up in the mountains of Lebanon in a town called, Baakleen. Soon after realising his natural talent for singing and music, Ramy went on to become one of the leading Pop Stars from the Middle East.

Ramy’s earliest achievement was in 1996 at a leading musical talent show in Beirut, ‘Studio El Fan.’ The jury were so impressed with his performance of a song titled, ‘Bghaneela’ where he took home the Gold medal and came first place. This hit track spent 8 weeks at the top of the Arabic charts and earned Ramy nominations for ‘Best Song’ in 1997 paving the way forwards with continuous success and growth in the Arabic music industry.

This success was followed by his first recorded album and number one hit in 1997 titled, ‘Raeh.’ Ramy then embarked on his first world tour, performing at over 50 concerts in twelve countries, including: Australia, Europe, USA, Canada and all across the Middle East.

In 1999, Ramy signed a recording contract with the leading Record Label in the Middle East, Rotana, and released his first album with the company titled, ‘Welah’ including hit tracks such as, ‘Shtatilak’ written and composed by himself, earning him another number one hit on the charts and airplay on radios all across the Middle East.

Ramy then launched his next album in 2000, "Diwan Al Hobb," which featured another three hit songs and two new music videos of the tracks, ‘Arfeeno’ and spent 4 weeks at the Top of the Video Charts and ‘Khad Hareer’ which was filmed in Germany and exclusively premiered on the German TV Station, DW.

In 2002, Ramy set his mark on an International level, by launching his new album, ‘Albi Mal.’ Eight new tracks were recorded for the album and four of the songs that were released were all chart toppers and crowned Ramy as the leading Arabic Pop Star. Songs such as, ‘Albi Mal’ and the remake of an old classic by the legendary Wadi El Safi, ‘Allailo Ya Layla’ became international hits all over the Middle East and to Arabic audiences all over the world, remaining at number one on all chart shows for weeks and earned Ramy two award nominations in the Middle East, for ‘Best Arabic Vocal Performance’ and ‘Best Dance/Pop Song’ in 2002. The music video for ‘Albi Mal’ also won ‘Best Music Video’ at the Arabic Music Awards that year.

In 2004, Ramy released ‘Ya Mshar Ayni’ and became his most successful album topping the music and video charts for months with his hit title track, ‘Ya Mshar Ayni’ and ‘Khallini Maak’. The track, ‘Mabrouk’ was unofficially released as the third track on the album which soon became Ramy’s most famous Arabic song played at all occasions and weddings and continues to be the theme song for all celebrations. Ramy then began his second world tour.

‘Habbaytak Ana,’ is Ramy’s eighth highly anticipated music album, released in December 2006 choosing the best eight songs for the album using new writers including Ramy himself. The title track, which was the first to be released, is being described by critics as, "The new sound of the Arabic music industry" in terms of production quality as well as his powerful vocal performance.

Ramy Ayach has certainly set his mark in Arabic Pop Music and his potential is only just being explored. After ‘Habbaytak Ana,’ Ramy feels he has just begun his music career and is looking to become the first cross-over Artist into the International market.
