Ahmed Chawki

Ahmed Chawki is a Moroccan singer born in 1982. His music pulls from Arabic and Moroccan folk traditions alongside Western pop, a mix that came together in his 2013 single 'Time of Our Lives.' That track found an international audience and became his breakthrough.

He followed that with songs like 'Habib I Love You,' which featured Pitbull and Sophia Del Carmen, and 'Tsunami.' His recordings often have an energetic, pop-forward feel, though some listeners have questioned how much they lean toward commercial sounds versus traditional roots. Chawki has generally responded that he's just making music from his own influences.

His catalog includes other tracks like 'Amirah' and 'Ana Bahwak.' He's known for a lively stage presence and a voice that can handle both upbeat numbers and more soulful material.
