ISSAM ALNAJJAR:
Issam Alnajjar is leading the way for a new generation of artists from the
Middle East and North Africa to take over the global music scene. An 18-year-old musician from Amman, Jordan, he had been creating music for a couple of years, studying the songwriting of pop artists like
Shawn Mendes and
Ed Sheeran and admiring the creativity of iconic artists like
Queen and The Weeknd, when he got some inspiration for his breakout hit "Hadal Ahbek." After dropping a preview video for the song on Instagram, anticipation from his fans grew larger and larger. By the time he finally released "Hadal Ahbek," with Issam's silky voice and infectious lyrics and melody, the popularity of it exceeded his expectations. Issam says he had only expected 10k views total for his song. That was shattered in one day, and eventually it grew to 100k views a week. And on TikTok, the song only grew bigger and now currently sits atop dozens of music charts on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. For any artist to have a top song is an accomplishment. But what makes Issam's feat more incredible is that he achieved this with a song sung in Arabic.
