Mohamed is one of the founders of the band and is considered the vocal power behind it. His participation at an early age in international concerts, playing alongside big stars like Rachid Taha and Cheb Khaled, has added value and experience and has helped him mature into a serious artist.

Nader Hamdi (Waddour, 23, pianist and bass vocals), Ahmed El Shami (Shami, 23, percussionist and bass vocals), Mohamed Nour (Nour, 22, violinist and lead vocals) and Ahmed Fahmi (Fahmi, 24, violinist and lead vocals). All the boys have been musically gifted since they were toddlers. They all came together in the late eighties and became friends while they were studying at the Cairo conservatoire. They grew up with a passion for writing, composing, and singing their own music, besides playing classical music in orchestras all over the world. In 1998, Mohamed Nour and Ahmed Fahmi decided to take their dreams a step further and form their own band. They were then approached by Nader Hamdi and Ahmed El Shami to join the band. Shami came up with the band's name, which is the first letter of each member's name (W is for Waddour, Nader Hamdi's nickname.) WAMA was formed in 1999. They wrote their own lyrics and started composing, singing, and arranging their demo tape. The first song they wrote "Hobaha gowah el Kalbein" (Her love inside two hearts) was based on the true story of a girl whom both Fahmi and Nour liked! The single was composed by Nour and arranged by Waddour. The title track "Ya Leil" was remixed with a house mix to appeal to the club scene. The track was written in celebration of Ahmed Fahmi's engagement to his long-time girlfriend. Their first album "Ya Leil", which was released in 2003, proved to be a great success and propelled the band to the heights of stardom.
