At the age of 16 he was called Sultan El-Tarab by George Ibrahim El Khoury a magazine director, Arabic for The Sultan of Music, with his classic song "el-Hawa Sultan".[citation needed] He became famous after appearing on the Lebanese show Studio El Fan 1980 when he was 19 years old when he was known as Sultan of Tarab.[citation needed]
