Majid Al Mohandis
Iraqi singer and composer, Majid Al Mohandis, has been present on the musical scene since the 1990’s. The artist had in fact traded his aeronautical engineering diploma for an artistic career. In 1991 he signed with a Jordan-based company for a song titled Mushkilah (a Problem it is!) and recorded four albums before signing with Rotana music production company. His first album as a Rotana artist is titled Waheshny Mut (Missing you to Death). In 2005, Majid Al Mohandis received the “Best Arab Singer” Award. He thereafter released such successful albums as Injanait (I Have Lost my Mind), Anssi (How can I forget) and Udkuriny (Remember me!). All of these successes have propelled the singer to the top charts and bolstered his reputation as Mutrib Al-`Ushaaq (or, the Delightful Singer of the Passionate Lovers) in the Arab world.
