Wissam Hilal - Single
Wissam was born April 14, 1989, in Damascus, Syria. He was the first of two children raised in a loving family by mother Meliea and father Raffat Hilal who encouraged him at an early age to pursue his passion for singing and songwriting.

Wissam recorded his first debut album in 2008 titled ‘You Belong To Me’. The album contained 8 original tracks (pop/rock) and was released locally in Syria and Lebanon and was well received. As his popularity and talent grew, Wissam moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates January 2012 after completing his English Literature university degree; where he started planning and preparing for his first album of an International standard.
