Who is Ali Raouf?

Ali Raouf is considered one of Egypt’s promising young musical talents. Born in Suez Governorate, he developed a passion for music at an early age with the encouragement of his late mother, who nurtured his talent since he was seven years old.

After completing his secondary education in Suez, Raouf joined the Arab Music Institute to refine his skills and went on to participate in several artistic events. He later worked for an extended period with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Orchestra.

In 2017, he won first place in the Arab Youth Festival, marking the beginning of his professional journey before achieving viral fame with the spontaneous street performance that became known as “I Beg with My Guitar.” The video spread rapidly across social media, earning him widespread recognition.
