Biography
Ahmad Walid. I started my musical endeavor at the tender age of
17, in Kabul, Afghanistan.
I was discovered by the legendary Afghan singer Ahmad Wali and
with his guidance he introduced me to Radio Kabul.
The first song I sang was a song dedicated to all the mothers of
Afghanistan during mothers day celebrations.
This song really ignited my relationship with the late Ahmad
Zahir. After hearing my performance, he wrote a song for me
"Eine che- eshqest qe dar del darum", which he actually recorded
this song with me as a duet which became an overnight hit.
After this song he became my mentor and I had a very close
musical and personal relationship until his unforeseen death.
This relationship was a very rewarding experience for me, which
I cherish whole heartedly.
After the communist regime took power in our beloved country, I
migrated to Germany in 1981.
Since then I have continued to live, perform, and record music
in Germany.
I have recorded more than ten albums and am working on my next
album with
Ali Etemadi and my son Duran Etemadi which is scheduled to be
released in the spring of 2009. |
