Saad Lamjarred (Arabic: سعد لمجرد; born April 7, 1985) is a Moroccan pop singer, dancer, singer-songwriter, actor and record producer.
Early Life
Lamjarred was born on April 7, 1985, to Bachir Abdou, a Moroccan classical singer, and Nezha Regragui, an actress and comedian.[1] From an early age, Lamjarred had a special interest in playing the piano, as well as singing as early as the age of four.
Lamjarred then went on to study at the Conservatory of Music in Rabat, where he studied music, art theory and dance. He would perform many productions where in he would collaborate with his father.
Career
In 2007, Lamjarred took part in Super Star, a widely popular Arab talent TV show, and was placed second[2] in season 4 of the series that was won by the Tunisian Marwan Ali. His participation earned him recognition.
In 2011, Lamjarred started his acting career, playing the male lead in Ahlam Nassim, a Moroccan soap opera. He released an album in 2013, titled Wala Aalik. That same year, he released two more albums, namely Salina and Enty. The title song of the latter, "Enty Baghya Wahad", became one of Lamjarred’s biggest hits and earned him an award at the Méditel Morocco Music Awards 2014,[3][4][5] as well as a nomination for the Best Middle East Act at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.[6]
Lamjarred was also nominated for the Best Middle East Act at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.[6] He won the Murex d'Or in the category of "Best Arabic Song" for his 2014 song "Enty Baghya Wahad".
The music video for Lamjarred's 2015 hit single, "LM3ALLEM" (Arabic: لمعلم), earned a Guinness World Record achievement after garnering 500 million views on YouTube within three months of release.[7][8] As of August 2018, the video is the most viewed Arabic video on YouTube, garnering more than 660 million views.
A year later, Lamjarred released another single titled "Ana Machi Sahel" (Arabic: أنا ماشي ساهل), which he soon followed up with a black-and-white music video released on YouTube that features dozens of Lamjarred's fans, who have filmed themselves singing along to the song at home, in their cars and out and about.[9] Lamjarred didn't wait too long to release another single by the name of "Ghaltana" (Arabic: غلطانة) in the form of a video clip directed by Amr Rouani. The video caught eyes because of its Wild West, gritty feel, inspired by Rouani's childhood love of Mad Max films.[10]
Following this success, Lamjarred's music production took a brief gap while he was on Trial in Paris for "sexual assault",[11] but soon made a come-back with his August 2017 comeback titled "Let go". It was an immediate hit, it earned about half a million views on YouTube within an hour of its release.[12]

Lamjarred was released in 2017, but still faces charges.[16].
