Al-Shami surprises his fans: I want to disappear and my story is bigger than just being an artist

The Syrian artist, Al-Shami, stirred controversy after he talked about his desire to stay away from the artistic scene for a while, during his meeting with the Lebanese media figure and head of the Al-Nahar Media Group, Nayla Tueni, on the program “Podcast with Nayla.”

Al-Shami: I want to disappear In the details, Al-Shami shocked his fans by announcing his desire to temporarily leave the artistic scene.

Al-Shami explained during the meeting that he feels an urgent need to learn about new cultures in order to develop the content of his songs, noting that he asked his artistic company for a break in order to achieve this goal.

Speaking about this decision, Al Shami said: “I want to disappear,” which surprised his artistic company, who were surprised by this request. Al Shami explained that this decision stems from his desire to improve his musical identity and not drain his energy quickly, saying: “If I do not disappear, isolate myself, and improve my musical identity, I will not be able to develop, and this will lead to my energy being drained quickly.”

Al-Shami: My story is much bigger than just being an artist Al-Shami stressed that, like any writer or composer, his creative energy is exposed to being drained, noting: “I am like any writer, composer or distributor, my energy can be drained, because I am energy.” When asked if he feared that his audience would forget him during his absence, he answered confidently: “I believe that I have left a large and sufficient mark on my audience.” Al-Shami added: “My story is much bigger than just being an artist. I am a young man who came after a long artistic isolation that lasted in Syria, so it is not easy for me to be forgotten. I stood on a stage to be honored and mentioned the name of my country and my generation, and these are positions that are difficult to forget easily.”

Al Shami tops the list of best artists in “Billboard Arabia” On the other hand, Al-Shami had topped the list of the 100 best artists on Billboard Arabia, after the star Sherine Abdel Wahab continued to top the list for 25 consecutive weeks, according to what the platform announced on its Instagram account.

Thus, Al-Shami is the youngest artist to win first place on “Billboard Arabia”, at the age of 21, through the success of his latest songs that have gained popularity and success across digital platforms.

Also, Al-Shami’s song “Where” won first place, days after its release, achieving 20 million views.
