In a city that never forgets its songs, where the call to prayer meets the hum of daily life, a boy named Iyad was born in Beirut, Lebanon—with a melody already in his soul. While the world around him moved to the beat of tradition, Iyad was quietly composing his own rhythm—a sound that would one day echo far beyond the walls of his childhood. From the earliest moments, music called to him. It wasn’t just a hobby; it was his lifeline. Every note, every lyric, every whispered verse felt like home. The traditional Arabic music of his heritage shaped him, teaching him emotion before he had the words to express it. Even as a child, he could silence a room with a song, not because he demanded attention—but because his voice carried truth, rawness, and something deeply human. He grew up in a place where dreams were often weighed down by reality. Resources were scarce. Opportunities were rare. But passion? Iyad had that in overflowing supply. He didn’t wait for someone to hand him a mic—he found it. From local events to family gatherings, he carved out a stage wherever he could, offering pieces of his heart to anyone willing to listen. It was in these humble moments that he built the foundations of something extraordinary. Education was never an afterthought for Iyad—it was fuel for his future. After completing high school at Collège Notre Dame Des Soeurs Antonine, he enrolled at Université Antonine, where he immersed himself in the world of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts. For three years, he absorbed the language of visuals, light, and storytelling—not to chase the spotlight, but to understand how to create it. These studies gave him more than a degree—they gave him vision. Now, every music video, every image, every moment of his brand was intentional, cinematic, and uniquely his.
But the real turning point? That came with “Mesh Saab.”
This wasn’t just a song. It was a release. A declaration. A moment where everything Iyad had worked for collided with the hearts of listeners across the Middle East. A fusion of modern pop and the timeless soul of Arabic music, “Mesh Saab” didn’t climb the charts—it soared. Suddenly, the boy who once sang at family parties had the world leaning in. His voice was being heard by millions.
And yet, even with rising fame, Iyad never lost his grounding. He knew that in today’s world, true connection lives where fans can see the artist behind the art. So, he turned to social media—not to show off, but to show up. His Instagram, @iyad_music, became more than just a profile; it became a window into his journey. Over 1.2 million followers now walk beside him, not just as fans, but as part of his story.
Then came “Waynak”—another chapter, another evolution. The original release was fresh, catchy, and honest. But it was the acoustic version that peeled back the layers, revealing Iyad’s unfiltered artistry. No production tricks. No distractions. Just a voice, a story, and a feeling. That’s what Iyad does best—he doesn’t perform music; he lives it.
But beyond the spotlight, beyond the streaming platforms and the applause, is a young man who refused to give up. The industry threw obstacles his way. Doubts whispered. Doors closed. Still, Iyad showed up—again and again. He didn’t just chase his dream. He built it, brick by brick, song by song.
Today, Iyad stands as a beacon for every aspiring artist who’s ever wondered, “Is this possible for someone like me?” He is proof that you don’t have to be born into opportunity—you can rise into it. With resilience, education, and a heart that refuses to quit, even the most impossible dreams can find their way into the light.
And he’s far from done.
The future holds new collaborations, daring new sounds, and a global reach. Iyad is still writing his story—but the world is already listening. And as he continues to rise, he carries with him the dreams of an entire generation—reminding them that it’s okay to start small, to fail, to feel, and to keep going anyway. Because if Iyad’s journey teaches us anything, it’s this: When your voice comes from the heart, the world will hear you.
