in 2008.
In 1986, Marwan enrolled in the University of Saint Espirit Kasslik in Lebanon. He studied piano and harmony there and during his university years, and he won a prize in a music composition contest. The award was presented to the singer by former Lebanese President Amin Joumayel in the following year. In 1988, Marwan produced his very first album Asak Habibi depending solely on himself in writing the lyrics and composing the songs, and of course producing it. The album was not that big of a hit unfortunately.
Marwan started a new phase in his life in 1989, but not as a singer. He performed in various variety shows, such as Aghani Aghani and Studio Al-Fan, on the keyboard. He continued as a keyboard player till 1996 and played with many famous bands; like Sabah's band. But during that period, Marwan was able to come up with a single, Fik Yamma Balak. It was released in 1994 and established he as a talented singer. He then went on to lead Wael Kfoury's band as well as other famous Lebanese singers as before. This gave Khoury the chance to see the world and go on tour as a conductor. In 1997 he wrote, composed and performed his second single Lasbor Ala Wela. It was not until 1999 however that Marwan finally became known in the music industry as a writer/composer. He came up with two hit songs for Nawal Al Zoghbi Tia and Dalouna. Then the year 2001 came along and with it Marwan launched his first official album Khayal El-Omr. The very next year, Khoury shot his first video clip Ya Shog with director Bassem Christo. In 2003, the singer got his first recognition as a talented composer and was awarded Murex D'Or as the best composer.
In 2004, Marwan reached his milestone. He landed a five-year contract with a major production company, Rotana. He then released his second solo album Kel El Asayed in May of that year. The album and the title song were a big hit and their popularity spread fast. It was this album that actually made Marwan famous in the Arab world and in Egypt. To further the success he had achieved, Marwan released a video for the title song of his album the following month. The video was directed by his brother, Claude Khoury. Marwan released another hit album in 2005, Asr El Shawq. His latest album, Ana wl Leil , was released in 2008.

كل ساعة بساعة يحاكيني
و يسأل على طول
وحدك انت يلي مبكيني
ولا مرة بترضيني
وعني مشغول
انت يا عيوني
جوا عيوني و البي بتبقى
ساعة بساعة
حاجة كل ساعة. على كيفك تزعل مني
بتقرب ساعة و أيام بتبعد عني
حاجة كل ساعة. على كيفك تزعل مني
بتقرب ساعة و أيام بتبعد عني
انا بدي مين يداريني
كل ساعة بساعة يحاكيني
و يسأل على طول
وحدك انت اللي مبكيني
ولا مرة مرة بترضيني
و عقلي مشغول
وانت يا عيوني
جوا عيوني و البي بتبقى
ساعة بساعة
ساعة بساعة
شاغلني بالهوى و مشغول
حبيبي عني انت عطول
ناسيني و كلمة ما بتقول
يا عمري يا حبيبي يا حياتي
و لما لما عني تروح
ثواني هالقلب مجروح
بيغنيلك ع اخر روح
يا عمري يا حبيبي يا حياتي

انا بدي مين يداريني
I want someone to care for me
كل ساعة بساعة يحاكيني
Every hour, they talk to me
و يسأل على طول
And ask me constantly
وحدك انت يلي مبكيني
Only you make me cry
ولا مرة بترضيني
You never satisfy me
وعني مشغول
My mind is preoccupied
انت يا عيوني
You are my eyes
جوا عيوني و البي بتبقى
You stay inside my eyes and heart
ساعة بساعة
Hour by hour
حاجة كل ساعة. على كيفك تزعل مني
Something every hour. You get angry with me for whatever reason
بتقرب ساعة و أيام بتبعد عني
You come closer hour by hour, but days go further away from me
شاغلني بالهوى و مشغول
Love occupies my mind and I'm preoccupied
حبيبي عني انت عطول
You are always absent, my love
ناسيني و كلمة ما بتقول
You forget about me and don't say a word
يا عمري يا حبيبي يا حياتي
My life, my love, my everything
و لما لما عني تروح
And when you're away from me
ثواني هالقلب مجروح
Seconds go by and my heart is wounded
بيغنيلك ع اخر روح
I sing to you with my last breath
لا تغيب عليي
Don't be absent from me
بفديك عينيي
I sacrifice my eyes for you
يا حبيبي انا
My love, it's me
لا تغيب عليي
Don't be absent from me
بفديك عينيي
I sacrifice my eyes for you
يا حبيبي يا حبيبي
My love, my love
