Jad Shwery (usually spelled: ''Jad Choueiri''; (アラビア語:جاد شويري) Lebanese pronunciation: (:ʒaːd ˈʃweːɾi), born 13 March 1980) is a Lebanese pop singer, songwriter and music video director. ==Musical career== Right after his university years in ALBA ''academie libanaise des beaux-arts'' and La Sorbonne nouvelle Paris 3, Jad participated in The ''Studio El Fan'' contest of 2002 and won the first prize in the directing category for the music video he directed of "Ya Mustafa" by Reeda Butros. In 2004, Jad wrote his first song "aollak eh" and shot its video. The song was a strong club hit that flew to the top of many charts around the Arab world. Jad's success caused some controversy because of the new style it introduced but many doors were now opened for him as he was asked to direct some videos as well as produce and write other artists' records. But most importantly Jad got offered a record deal by Melody music and became managed by Melody artist management.〔(http://www.nogomistars.com/biography.asp?ID=116 )〕 His follow up record "Oully Ezay" proved to be an even bigger hit and Jad started performing all over the Arab world. His first album El Mouftah came next gathering all the previous hits along with "Banadeelak" that took the Arabic charts by storm.〔(http://www.jadshwery.com/ )〕 His biggest hit was yet to come. "Warrini", a duet with Malak el Nasser became one of the most popular songs of 2006 in many countries in the middle east.〔(http://www.last.fm/music/Jad+Choueiri )〕 He has introduced many things to the Arabic pop industry as he was the first male artist to do a choreographed dance during his performances or put Arabic rapping into the mainstream. In April 2009, Jad released his single "Funky Arabs" to be the first single off his English album. The controversy regarding the video has been running ever since, especially on YouTube, but it did not stop the video from being broadcast on BNN in the Netherlands, as well as being selected in the Arab film festival in Parramatta Australia.〔(http://riversideparramatta.com.au/show/makhlouta-shorts/ )〕 Later on that year he released "Wala Awel" followed up by "Ghaly" as the first song from his second Arabic album. The video was shot in Paris, London, New York and Disneyland with the help of Jad's brother and sister Ralph and Ingrid Choueiri.〔( http://www.waleg.com/archives/018207.html )〕 Although he was continuously criticized for his limited voice capabilities, even the most sceptic detractors had to acknowledge the successful performances he gave around the MENA. His two concerts in Casablanca – Morocco on the 15th and 16 July that year gathered 40,000 people on the first night and 70,000 on the second.〔(http://www.waleg.com/archives/020683.html )〕 On 26 August 2011 "Kassaretly El Siyara" was released along with a music video that featured a new dabke dance style on the electronic break beat of the song. It helped the song become a big success and promote the upcoming album.〔(http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/14099 )〕 On September 13, Jad released his second album, Eshha Keda which was co-produced by Melody and Mira stars. He performed the album at the Riviera Hotel on 14 September, along with all his previous hits and some covers, in a rock-solid and modern choreographed show which was attended by a big number of local celebrities.〔(http://wikeez.yasmina.com/en/people/pictures-haifa-wehbe-launching-jad-shwery’s-new-album-12833 )〕 "Mesh ayez gherak" and "Eshha Keda" were the following singles but failed to get the hype of the first release from that album. in 2013 jad released an english song called "we don't care" that was popular on the club scene and in english speaking circles.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDZk-Df-n9o〕 Lately, Jad decided to get back to the front of the music scene with a new vision of his persona: more of a producer/performer with collaborating artists than the classical pop singer. The result was "Agaza",〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqib9G08Gmg〕 a powerful duet with Egypt s star Pousy. The song, written by Jad, flew to the top of the charts in most Arab countries and re-established Jad as a pop phenomenon. The "Best contemporary artist award he received at the Murex d'or again this year is a solid proof of the impact of his comeback.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7hv5E9CdvQ〕 He is currently working on his next album which will include many different collaborations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jad Shwery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
