George Wassouf (Arabic: جورج وسوف) (born December 23, 1961) is a Syrian singer[1] with over 30 albums released. Wassouf's vocal style has been emulated by younger singers such as George El Rassi.

Born in Kafroun, Tartous, Syria into a Christian household, he was called "the miraculous of his time" for his artistic talent in singing.[citation needed] Wassouf started singing at the age of 10 in his hometown Kafroun. He was discovered by his first manager and producer George Yazbeck at a wedding party that Wassouf was performing at, aged 12 years old. 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]

Wassouf preferred not to shoot videos for his songs saying "I don't feel I can act ... I really can't... I only find myself when I'm on the stage ... singing, but the video clip forces me to act".[citation needed]
