George Wassouf started singing very young at the age of 10 years old in his hometown Kafroun that consequent to Mashta Al Helou in Tartous, Syria on different occasions such as marriages, parties, hotels, etc. Shortly thereafter he moved to Lebanon where he started singing and his popularity grew. It was at the age of 16 years old when he became known as "Sultan El-Tarab" as called by the famous international Actor Omar Sharif, Arabic for "The Sultan of Singing", with his classic song "el-Hawa Sultan".
People at that time thought of him as being the only one who could provide tarab with his magical and crystal voice that was very sharp and high-pitched when he was young and matured into the deep, commanding voice that he is now known for. A few of his first songs include "Hawa Sultan", "Rohi ya Nesmah", "Helif el-Amar", "Law Naweit" are the ones that really brought him up to fame.
The family name "Wassouf" is first of all the name of a statue God that was worshipped in the middle ages (around 1500 b.c.). Wassouf's magical voice was discovered by his first manager and producer "George Al-Khouri". This happened when Wassouf was 12 years old - he was singing at a wedding party. George Wassouf also got married very young at the age of 21 to Shalimar, who is originally from Sierra Leone. They have three children: Wadee', Hatem, and George Jr. His oldest son's name is Wadee', which is why he is known as Abu Wadee'.
George Wassouf has produced more than 30 albums and has performed concerts all around the world. Started from the famous Lebanese show which fired the fame of many Lebanese singers "Studio El Fan" 1980 when he was only 16 years old, surprisingly he was called at this time "Sultan of Tarab". The Song "Hilef il Amar" made a massive hit in the Arab world, although Wassouf was quite young at that time. However Wassouf was able to rise to the rank of "king" of Arab Tarab. Many Singers are jealous of wassouf , and that's why they try to copy his unique style and performance. Some of the younger singers who attempt to copy his style are George al-Rassi and Wael Jassar. Wassouf is one of the few singers that were able to attract millions of fans in a short period of time. In addition, Wassouf is not only famous in the Arab World but is also known in Europe and the States as one of the Best Arabian Singers.
According to his life and his fame he should have been called also "The King of Rumors" as he lived a life that was filled with rumors about his love life, his health and so on that it was told once earlier in 2001 that he died of an overdose.
He doesn't like to shoot his songs into video clips although he had some successful hits in the early 1990s, he used to say about this: "I don't feel I can act ... I really can't... I only find myself when I'm on the stage ... singing, but the video clip forces me to act".
On June 2002 , Sultan Al Tarab Released his new album "Salaf Wi Dein", which made a huge success in both the Arab world and abroad.

The lyrics to the song "Ma Teoulou Leeh" by George Wassouf embody the struggle of hiding one's love for someone and trying to understand one's own emotions. The repeated phrase "Ma Teoulou Leeh" (Why do you say to me) expresses the singer's frustration with those around them asking about the person they love. Despite their attempts to keep their feelings hidden, the singer cannot help but mention their loved one's name and ask others about them. The fear of someone finding out their secret is intensified when they imagine someone else smiling at their loved one, creating a sense of possessiveness and jealousy.
The chorus contains the lyrics "Ma Arefsh Leih, Ana Mali Beh" (I don't know why, I can't resist him) which shows that the singer is struggling to understand their own feelings and emotions towards their loved one. They question whether their love is real or just a fleeting feeling that will pass. The lyrics "Kanet Bethhebbou Sahi, Khibbi Alayeh" (If you really love him, then hide it) indicate that the singer understands the societal norm of hiding love, but they struggle to do so because of the intensity of their emotions.
Overall, the song portrays the internal conflict of keeping love hidden, feeling possessive and jealous, and struggling to understand one's emotions. The repeated question of "Ma Teoulou Leeh" emphasizes the singer's frustration and desperation to keep their love hidden.
