Hamada Helal

An Egyptian singer and actor, who was born in Sharkia Governorate, then moved to live in Cairo. His difficult circumstances forced him to enter the labor market at an early age, so he worked in carpentry, in cafes, and as a painter when he was not yet five years old. Then his relatives noticed the beauty of his voice, so he began singing at weddings and birthdays. He continued this work alone and his brother helped him until he met Hassan Ash Ash, who supported him a lot and introduced him to Hamid Al Shaeri, who was credited with making Hilal appear on the singing scene, so Hamada appeared. He released cocktail albums with a number of singers until the release of his first album in 1996, when he was only seventeen years old. He also participated in a large number of cinematic films, television and radio series programmes.
