He would spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. With things changing around him, one thing remained the same - his strong passion for music. The family moved to Sweden when Maher was only 8, where he continued his schooling, and later entered university and got a Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering.

He sings mainly in English, but also, amongst others, in French, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Indonesian and Malay. His debut album Thank You Allah, with 13 songs and two bonus tracks was released on 1 November 2009, with an exclusive Percussion Version and a French Version released shortly afterwards.
