Ragheb Alameh was born in 1961 in the “Ghebaira” neighbourhood of Beirut, where he was brought up and educated.   When he was a child, his father and his brother Mohammed taught him to play the “Oud” instrument and he started his singing career in 1980 by participating in the “Studio El Fan” TV programme directed by Simon Asmar.

His debut song was “Bint Essultan” which played on “The Voice of Arabic Lebanon” radio station. He also had a few more of his own like “Rah Tayyer Hamam” and “Ragheb Bi’ourbek Ana Ragheb”, written along with the composer  “Ihsan El Munzir”.  Later, “Relax  In” production house took him and produced his successful  albums, “Ya Reyt”, “Lehdiyeh” and “Dawiy Elleil”.  The latter was particularly popular and brought him to stardom, becoming famous throughout the Levant. In 1983, he spent time in Egypt working with a number of famous composers and produced an album produced in association with “Sami El Hefnawi” who wrote the music of “Nasi” and “Hassan Abou Essood” who wrote the music of  “Haram”. The Album was titled “Ma Yjooz”, the track composed by Mohammed El Belooshi and it was this record that really launched Ragheb in Egypt and the Arabian Gulf.

He then had a succession of hits, with his album “Albi Ashi’ha” which was very popular throughout the Middle East followed by “Ya Hayati” and “Taw’am Roohi” which established him as one of the Middle East’s top singers and personalities. He performed at concerts throughout the Arabic World, Europe, America, Canada and Australia. 

All those albums were produced by “Relax In”.  That encouraged him to establish his own production house in association with “Relax In” and produced the “Fark Kbeer” album.  In 1996 her released the “Bravo Alayk”  album – again a huge success in the region  followed by  “Habibi ya Nasee” in 1998.

In 2001, he again proved himself to still be at the peak of his powers with the release of the massively success “Saharouny El Leil” which spawned several hit singles including the title track and a duet with the top young Lebanese singer Elissa “Betghib Bitrouh”.
