Mohamed Abd Elfatah Helal is an Egyptian singer who uses the stage name Hamada Helal (حمادة هلال). He was born on the 20th of March 1980 in Sharkeya, Egypt. He now resides in Cairo, Egypt. Hamada started his interest singing when he was 5 years old. He used to record his voice whilst singing on cassette tabs. Many great Arabic artists influenced Hamada, such as Abd Elhalim, Mohamed Abdo and Om Kolthoum. At school, Hamada sung during the school breaks and entertainment periods. One of his friends would be playing a drum, Hamada would be singing and a girl would be dancing. When Hamada was seven, one of his relatives heard him while he was singing and took Hamada to a musician. He learned the music basics and was encouraged. The musician told Hamda that he would introduce him to sing at a wedding of one of his relatives after three months. This was the starting point of his career. Hamada met a popular composer called Hassan Esh Esh. He introduced me to Hamid Elshaerry and presented him to a recording studio. They signed him up to a contract straight away. Hamada's first appearance as a professional singer was on High Quality album Part 3 and he participated in two songs.
