Iwan When Are You Making a Comeback?



Iwan is one of those rare Lebanese singer that have a complete sense of what it takes to make an Arabic song a hit. For starter he started in the business as songwriter by composing music for Lebanese singers such as Bassima, Fares Karam, Marai and Carole Samaha. When he decided to get into the singing business he released “Oul Inshallah” a very catch song that took the Middle East by surprise--inspired by a Greek song. Then in 2004 he made his debut album “Albi Sahran” which established his career as a singer.

Iwan was able to establish his fan base in Egypt and was revived as one of their own,
In 2006, Iwan released two single "Wala fil Ahlam" and "Libnani" which was written and composed by Iwan himself, the songs where directed by the always hib jad shwery and made a success especially "Libnani" which was released after the 2006 war in Beirut, the song and it's clip were about the beauty of Lebanon's nature, culture and musical icons. The thing about Iwan is his ability to attract both female and male viewers and listeners.

Now he has also gotten into the movie business as I was him in an Egyptian movie Haflet Zaffaf. He made a good impression on me. In short Iwan is one of the few singers who can truly bring out a hit from A to Z. He can write, compose and sing...so he can capture all those emotions that are often lost if you are not the person who wrote this song. I am unable to see what's holding Iwan back from making a comeback. Sure, it's a crowded scene, but he is a one of a kind star and he can stand his own ground.
