Sari Abboud (Arabic: ساري عبّود; born December 10, 1980), better known by his stage name Massari ( /məˈsɑːri/ mə-SAH-ree), is a Lebanese Canadian height 5'10 foot (178cm) R&B/pop singer. His music combines Middle Eastern melodies with western culture. He started his musical career in 2001–2002, and has released three albums, Massari in 2005, Forever Massari in 2009 and Beirut in 2017. He has had a number of hit singles in Canada, his home country of Lebanon, the Middle East, Europe, and internationally. He is managed by SAL&CO.
Born in Beirut, his family relocated to Montreal, Quebec when he was 11 years old. At the age of 13, he and his younger brothers moved to Ottawa, Ontario, where he attended Hillcrest High School.
He started his musical career in 2001-2002 adopting the stage name Massari, which in Lebanese Arabic, Massari (مساري maṣāri ) means "money". The chosen name is also reminiscent of his birth name Sari. His cultural and social upbringing shaped his musical style very early in his music career. He released his first song "Spitfire" (2002) which was aired on Ottawa radio stations. Since then, Massari has been steadily writing and developing his sound.
