Fady Fatrouni (born February 2, 1987), best known by his stage name Faydee, is an Australian singer and songwriter of Lebanese descent.[1][2][3] Additionally, he is an ambassador of the Bully Free Australia Foundation.[4]

Early life and education

Faydee was born on February 2, 1987 in Sydney, Australia. His parents originated from Tripoli, Lebanon. Faydee’s interest in music began through his cousins, who would record beats and rap and sing over them for entertainment. At the age of thirteen, he began writing and recording music from his bedroom.[5]

Career

Faydee was discovered online by Ronnie Diamond, the owner and founder of Buckle Up Entertainment, at 19 years old. Shortly after, he released "Laugh Till You Cry", which topped the Hot 100 airplay charts in Romania for six consecutive weeks.[2][5] The song also charted in Bulgaria, Greece, Moldova, Cyprus, Armenia, Turkey, Belarus, Hungary, Israel, Mauritius and Lithuania. In 2013, Faydee was named the national ambassador for the Bully Zero Australia Foundation releasing the song "Unbreakable" featuring Miracle.[4]

In February 2015, Faydee traveled to Greece to film a music video for "Who" with Claydee Lupa.[6][7][8] The song placed on Greece’s Top 40 airplay chart two weeks after its release.[7] "I Need Your Love" by Shaggy featuring Mohombi, Faydee and Costi charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2015.[9] The song placed 25th on the Top 40 Pop US Billboard Charts in May. An Arabic version of the song, "Habibi (I Need Your Love)," was co-written with Romanian music producer Costi Ioniță and released in 2014.[10] The song was also released in Russian with Uzbek singer Shahzoda and Dr. Costi as "Habibi (Улыбнись и все Ок)," and in Bulgarian with singer Galena as "Habibi". Alexandra Stan announced that she will perform with Faydee in Turkey in May 2015.[5]
