Sherine Ahmed Abdel Wahhab (Arabic: شيرين أحمد عبد الوهاب), mononymously known as Sherine (Arabic: شيرين), is an Egyptian singer and actress.
Sherine was born on October 8th, 1980 in Cairo, Egypt. Sherine first began singing in grade school. At her teacher's urging, Sherine's parents took her to sing for Cairo Opera House conductor Selim Sehab. Impressed, Sehab invited the promising vocalist to join the Cairo Opera Children's Choir. From the age of nine to the age of twelve, Sherine sang and studied as a choral member at the Cairo Opera House; as such, by her teens, she was an adept solo performer. At the age of 18, Sherine was introduced to Nasr Mahrous, a star maker, music producer, and director, who liked her voice and decided to work with her; by 2002, her pop career had been launched, and with great success. She is loved by her Egyptian fans and one of the top artists in Egypt
She was married to the Egyptian composer and music distributor, Mohammad Mustafa. They have two daughters Mariam and Hana.
Sherine began her professional music career in 2000. In 2002, the producer Mahrous paired her with Tamer Hosny on the "Free Mix3: Tamer & Sherine"; also, the album included two duets by Tamer and Sherine. The joint album essentially launched both of their careers; the album sold over 30 Million copies throughout the Arab world, making it a huge success. Sherine's worked on various projects with her now ex-husband, musical distributor and composer, Mohammed Mustafa, which includes successful singles such as: "Ah, Ya Leil"; "Bahebak" ft. Mohammed Mohey; "Mabtafrach", "Mafish Mane3"; her ex, Mohammed Mustafa was also the pianist on the composition for "Da Mosh Habebi". Sherine's rise to fame has been quite meteoric - it took her about five years to establish herself as a top pop singer.
Sherine gained recognition with Ah, Ya layl (Oh, night!), which relates the story of a young girl who has lost her true love, which echoed throughout the Middle East & North Africa. As a result of the tremendous success of the single, Sherine followed the same pattern in later albums and songs such as, Lazim Ayesh (I Have to Live), "Mafish Mane3" (No, One More Time), "Ana Mesh beta3et el Kalam Dah" (I'm not that kind of girl), and Kont Arfa (I knew). As her success grew, Sherine transitioned from a heartbroken girl to a mature woman "who welcomes sorrow as much as happiness, into a challenging and dashing woman who sings" songs such as the touching and beautiful: Ala Bali (On my mind), "Kolly Melkak" (I am all yours), Masha3er (Feelings); Tarab songs such as, "Garh Tani" (one of her most popular albums, too) and many other songs. According to one Gulf News journalist: "This was new to Arab audiences - the symbol of a woman who won't demean herself to win a man's affection. The theme was enhanced with infectious, joyous dance, lapped up by her admirers." In 2012, Sherine released the studio album Esaal Alaya, which also sold well, topping the charts across the Middle East. In 2014, she released Ana Keteer, in addition, she has stated that the single Ana Kteer is one of them that has the "most meaning to me; in 2015, she released Tareqe.
