About me: It is rather hard to imagine that the energetic Rai artist who owns the crowd with his smile and golden voice was once terrified by the thought of holding a microphone. Algerian-born Yacine discovered his singing talent when was 17 years old. As a young teenager, he was focused on his studies and a few extra-curricular activities such as painting and soccer. At the age of 19, Yacine’s love for singing and composing grew too big to ignore or let go. Nothing meant to him more translating feelings into musical notes and singing them. One of Yacine’s relatives pitched him the idea of starting his own local band in Setif, a small town in Algeria. After the regional success of the group, Yacine had overcome his shyness but faced another obstacle as his parents did not approve of his new-found career path. However, the Rai artist did not lose hope and was determined to follow his musical vocation. Yacine expanded his talent and passion to include musical composing and arranging. He also learned to play instruments such as the guitar, tabla, keyboard to name a few. Yacine then switched bands, recorded his first album and started his professional musical journey in Algeria and Tunisia between 1994 and 1997. In 1998, Yacine moved to Egypt and became a member of the national singing group, Transit. Yacine’s career took off in Cairo and he was awarded the 2000 International Music Festival Musical Arrangement Award. Yacine emerged as the ambassador to Rai music in Egypt. In the year 2005, Yacine’s talent was picked up by Dandana TV’s CEO and Executive Producer, Dr. Amr Altahwi. Dandana TV is the first Arab-American network to broadcast from the United States with a mission of being the eye and the mirror between the East and the West. Yacine shot his first Dandana TV productions music video in New York City which premiered worldwide in 2007. As a Dandana Artist, Yacine is currently finishing up his album and working with the entertainment producers in Manhattan.
