 FIDEL
FAYAD
Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, Fidel Fayad is the second
of four siblings whom are all artistically inclined. Born
of a Lebanese father and a Syrian mother, Fidel grew up listening,
appreciating and grasping the music of Wadih el-Safi and Sabah
Fakhri which helped build a strong basis and foundation for
his current singing abilities.
In
1990, Fidel migrated to the United States of America. Although
his introduction as a singer took place in Lebanon while working
with Marwan and Ghady Rahbani, Fidel's singing career blossomed
in Los Angeles, California where he currently resides. Fidel
brought with him a unique style that marked a turning point
in Arabic music already established in the US. He incorporated
modern instruments as well as the traditional ones in order
to keep the same level of authenticity in his music. Known for
his unique style and powerful voice, Fidel succeeded in gaining
widespread popularity and support within his community.
Along
with his achievements, Fidel holds a Bachelors of Science
degree in Computer Science and also a Minor in Mathematics
from the California State University in Northridge.
Aside
from being a singer, Fidel is also a composer and song writer.
His hopes are to continue on with his career and perhaps release
his debut album in the near future.
