Richii / ريتشي

It’s been 15 years since Hadii Sharara introduced the world to teen pop star Richii, “the Lebanese Justin Bieber”, who topped the MelodyArabia pop charts for eight weeks in 2009 with the #1 single “دايب وحياتك”. He went on to score more hits with “جوه حضني” & “انا لبناني,” a patriotic club anthem from his debut album ‘Insane' that resurged during the 2019 Lebanese Revolution, peaking at #6 on the Deezer Hot 100.

After a lengthy hiatus, Richii returned with the deeply personal & experimental 'Lost', a double-EP independently released on his 30th birthday.

Between 2020 & 2021, he released a series of quarantine-era tracks collectively known as ‘The Strawberry Singles’, including “Strawberry Moon”. A live piano rendition of the track later premiered during a YouTube concert tribute to the 2020 Beirut explosion, drawing significant attention across social media.

Now, Richii returns with “Dust”, finally released after years of waiting.
