Majid Abd al-Amir Adir al-Attabi (Template:Langx; born 25 October 1971), better known as Majid Al Mohandis (Template:Langx), 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" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and "Voice of Diamond" (Script error: No such module "Lang".).

Biography

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.

He was a featured performer on the fourth season of Arab Idol in 2017.[3] And in 2022 he joined the jury for Saudi Idol together with Aseel Abu Bakr, Ahlam, and Assala.[4]

Personal life

He married a French woman with Tunisian descent, with whom he had his son Muhammed before divorce.[5]

He was given Saudi citizenship by King Abdullah in 2010, while he retained his Iraqi citizenship—amid criticism from some Iraqis.[1]
