Majid Abd al-Amir Adir al-Attabi (Arabic: ماجد عبد الأمير عذير العتابي; born October 25, 1971), better known as Majid Al Mohandis (Arabic: ماجد المهندس), is an Iraqi-Saudi singer and composer.[1][2] His success in the Arab world has earned him the titles of "the Engineer of the Arabic song" (مهندس الاغنية العربية) and "Voice of Diamond" (صاحب الصوت الماسي).
Biography[edit]
Al Mohandis was born 25, October 1971 in Baghdad, Iraq. He studied Engineering in Baghdad, hence the nickname "Al Mohandis (المهندس)," which means "the engineer" in Arabic. He was raised in a large Muslim family, where he was diligent about work. Upon finishing his university studies, he maintained an interest in arts. Al Mohandis had always aspired to become a musician, despite his family's opposition and anger in the matter; he opposed his parents' desire, however, and finished his higher education besides his lifelong passion: Music. Majid even worked as a tailor for several years while chasing his artistic ambitions. It was then when he had bought himself his first 'oud to practice and evolve as a musician.
Personal life[edit]
He married a French woman with Tunisian descent, with whom he had his son Muhammed before divorce.[3]
He was given Saudi citizenship by King Abdullah in 2010, while he retained his Iraqi citizenship—amid criticism from some Iraqis.[1]
