William Bichara Photographs Singer Wadih Abi Raad


With a friendship that goes back more than a decade, William Bichara’s brief one on one photo session with Wadih Abi Raad during William’s latest visit to Lebanon worked out like magic. Swift and unplanned, the shoot was powered by ease and familiarity between the two along with Wadih’s charisma and sharpness of style.

Wadih is a renowned figure in the Lebanese music scene. Mostly known for his role as a rehearsal coach on the Lebanese hit realty show, Star Academy, Wadih is a holder of several opera degrees in Bulgaria and Italy. He held numerous concerts in Bulgaria, Italy, France, Dubai and Beirut with performances for Haydn and Mozart in his repertoire. Wadih is also a winner of the special encouragement prize awarded by Raina Kabaivanska Foundation in Bulgaria. Recently, Wadih added to his repertoire a partnership with singer and actress Hiba Tawaji in a concert by Oussama Rahbani featuring the two artists and covering a range of songs from Oussama’s discography. The concert was a big success creating a lot of buzz around the much needed return to quality in music and performance demonstrated by this Lebanese dream team.
