Dear Ali Gatie fans, the Iraqi-Canadian sensation just announced his upcoming tour, and he’s coming to Cairo! 

The One Lisn World Tour, in support of his debut EP YOU, kicks off on the 28th of February in Dubai, and he’ll be performing in Egypt on Saturday the 29th. The announcement came three months after Gatie teased his Arab fans on Twitter, promising a show for Middle Eastern and Egyptian fans.

 

The gig is expected to take place at the capital’s hottest party venue, Cairo Jazz Club 610. More details, including information about tickets, will be revealed next week. Meanwhile, let us tell you more about the rising artist. 

Born in Yemen to Iraqi parents and raised in Toronto, Canada, Gatie’s stardom took off as he released his viral single, Moonlight, in 2018, a year after he entered RhymeStars competition and won. Gatie’s music boasts an alluring fusion of genres, including a bit of hip-hop and contemporary R&B. And we’d have to say, his choice of love-sick lyrics and genuine online persona are probably main reasons why he’s become so widely loved; he’s a sweet charmer. 

Not only that, but Gatie has always been in touch with his Arab roots and has always been proud of them. He frequently brings up Arab values that he’s been raised on, crediting his work philosophy to it, and he even titled his EP YOU, “Anty”, its Arabic equivalent, as well.

So, you’d better get all warmed up for the big day you’ve been waiting for. That’s why we’ve compiled some of Gatie’s soulful creations below for you to enjoy. We’re pretty sure they’re going to get stuck on replay!
