Noteworthy, Al Sahir was born on September 12, 1957 in Mosul, Iraq. He is an Iraqi singer, composer and songwriter. He has been dubbed the "Caesar of Arabic Song", and "Iraq's Ambassador to the world".

He has established himself as one of the most successful singers in the history of the Arab world, since the start of his career. His songs ranged from big romantic ballads to pop and Arab classical music,and they sometimes take a political swing.

He became deeply familiar with both classical Arab music, whose main representatives were Egyptian and Lebanese, and the Iraqi maqam repertoire; a local art form featuring vocal virtuosity and a vast repertoire. This solid grounding in traditional musical styles informs his work as both a singer and a composer.
