The best selling Arab music artist in history, and the figure most responsible for shaping the sound of modern Egyptian pop.
Amr Diab has spent more than three decades as the most commercially dominant figure in Egyptian, and arguably Arab, popular music, credited with helping define the Mediterranean-inflected pop sound that came to define the genre through the 1990s and 2000s.
His catalog spans dozens of albums and a Guinness World Record for most World Music Awards won by a Middle Eastern artist. Even as newer genres like trap and Mahraganat reshape Egyptian youth culture, Diab's version of Egyptian pop remains the mainstream's gravitational center.
