Lebanese composer, songwriter, singer, playwright, journalist, and director Ziad Rahbani began composing music at the tender age of six. His remarkable talent was evident from an early age, as he went on to compose his first song, dedicated to his mother, the renowned Fairouz, when he was just seventeen years old.
As he grew older, Ziad became an integral part of his mother's and the Rahbani family's theatrical works. He not only worked with them but also began writing and directing his own plays, which gradually reflected his unique perspective and political and social views. Some of his notable plays include "Sohriyah", "Nazal Al Sarour", "Bil Nakira Shaw", "Film Amriki Tawil", "Shay' Fashil", and "Bil Karama Wal Sha'ab Al'Anid".
Ziad also made significant contributions to his mother's music career, writing and composing several songs for her, including "Al Bosta", "Indi Thiqah Fik", "Salm Li Alayhi", and "Eih Fi Amal". His work didn't stop there; he was also a regular participant in various radio shows, such as "Al' Aql Zina", "Yah Ma Ahlaakum", and "Nus Al Alf 500".
Ziad's first artistic endeavor was "Sadiqi Allah" (My Friend God),a collection of writings he penned between 1967 and 1968, during his teenage years. This was followed by his first music composition for Fairuz in 1973, when he was just seventeen years old. This milestone was significant, as it marked the beginning of his professional music career.
