At only 24 years of age and his future looking bright, Talal has already managed to create Arabic music with an amazing passion and sound unheard of on the Middle Eastern music scene. With roots in Palestine and settlement in Copenhagen, he's now ready for his world quest.



Talal originally descends from Palestine, but was born in a refugee camp in Baalback, Lebanon on November 7th 1986. In 1989 he and his family moved to Denmark, where he grew up with his parents, two older brothers and a younger sister.



Singing has always meant a great deal to Talal. As a young child you would find him on the playground serenading the other kids. Throughout his life, he’s always been known as the great party entertainer who’s always ready to sing to the crowd.



Talal’s professional debut came in 2004, when Danish/Moroccan rapper Majid released a single called “My Struggle” with Talal featuring as a vocalist on his native Arabic. This song was a great success throughout Europe and lead to a lot of interest in Talal.



In December 2006 Talal was signed to Nasima Music and began the journey of fulfilling his lifelong dream. Sharing the same vision and goal as his good friend, Samir Cuhtait (producer), they both embarked upon creating a new sound, uniquely combining the beautiful Arabic vocal traditions with the prominent sound of the Western studio productions.



By the release of the first single “Ahmel Eh” in late February 2007, it became more than clear that Talal’s music came when most needed. The single went through the roof. In just a few days more than 10.000 people visited this debutante’s Myspace to experience the song. The Internet was flooded with positive reviews and Talal was overwhelmed by the amount of fan mail received from all over the Middle East. Shortly after followed the single “Enta Ya Habibi” which featured Majid. This combination of Arabic and English shot Talal to even greater heights, and now he was well known and very popular among the Western Arabs as well as other nationalities.



The journey has just begun, but the signs are clear and the destination evident. His much-anticipated album, El Duniya, is now released and he’s already giving concerts around the world. Talal has already crossed borders, transcended barriers and become one of the most popular artists in the Middle East and among Arabic emigrants in the west. Bringing Arabic music to a new and more contemporary level, Talal has firmly placed himself on the throne of Arabic pop.
