Biography

Emad Alaeddin

Emad Alaeddin is a Jordanian international artist who kicked off his music career 10 years ago in Los Angeles, California and developed his craft of performing and songwriting.

While in Los Angeles, Emad was the first Arab to have been nominated for Best Male Vocals at the Los Angeles Music Awards in 2007. He's also a two-time award-winning songwriter on songoftheyear.com for his songs "More Than You Know" in 2007 and "How Does It Feel?" in 2008.

In February 2010, a year after his move back to Jordan, Emad released his debut solo album "Centered". Shortly after, the music video to his first single "Sunshine" made its debut on MTV Arabia and blew up the radio waves in Jordan.
Emad is the first independent artist to be part of the hip music television channel and became Jordan's first featured artist on Nokia's Ovi Music Store, where exposure to his album will reach millions of subscribers.

In parallel to an award-winning artist, Emad is also active in social issues as he’s launched his "Bring Change" initiative which collects pocket change from his concert attendees to benefit underfunded schools. His "Bring Change" Tour will kick off in Amman and will continue on to Dubai, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK in 2011.

Emad’s 2010 Centered Tour included sold-out venues in the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Syria, Bahrain, and the United States.

"The warm welcome I received from my international fans made me feel quite at home," recalls the international star, "I can’t wait to go back next year and promote "Bring Change" and help all children and their future worldwide".

Emad has been featured on numerous top Jordanian magazines and has made radio performances on the top western stations as well as the arabic stations.
 

The Final Wish

Emad Alaeddin: Vocals/Guitars
Natasha Dahdaleh: Drums/Vocals
Ibrahim Khries: Bass

The Final Wish are a Jordanian rock trio that formed in 2011 when guitarist/vocalist Emad Alaeddin was approached by drummer/vocalist Natasha Dahdaleh to join forces and start a band. It didn't take long for Ibrahim Khries, a well-known and well-travelled bass player in the region, to join as Alaeddin and he had collaborated before. Although their musical influences range from Emad's rock, to Ibrahim's funk, to Natasha's pop, The Final Wish's sound is a united one that is reflective of all such backgrounds. Their bond as a band is truly what defines them.

They won the Rolling Stone Middle East Street to Stage competition in 2012 and soon after began working on their self-titled debut album. The first single "World for Two" has enjoyed considerable airplay on local FM stations as well as independent internet radio stations. The music video for "World for Two" is currently being broadcast on MTV and plans for their second video "Sawwi illi Biddik Yah", their first Arabic original, is their follow-up single.

In 2014 The Final Wish were touring in Europe with concerts in London, UK and Frankfurt, Germany (together with Hayden Lee) and have also played another very successful “Bring Change” concert in Frankfurt.

Their music (as well as Emad Alaeddin’s) is available on Itunes and Amazon.
