Bashar Murad height - How tall is Bashar Murad?

The collaboration with the Icelandic Techno-Punk band Hatari helped Bashar Murad to reach a wider audience. The single "Klefi / Samed" was released shortly after the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 that took place in Israel. It is about the wish for freedom and calls attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hatari was the only band that participated in the contest and took a political stance in the conflict. In August 2019 the music video of the song had 1,2 Million views.

During the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, Bashar Murad was part of the protesting artists that participated in the alternative event Globalvision that was broadcast online during the final weekend of Eurovision.

In May 2019, Bashar Murad participated in the Canadian Music Week in Toronto, Canada.

Upon graduating from the Jerusalem American School, he pursued his Bachelor's degree at Bridgewater College, VA. In the US, he realised that not a lot of his co-students knew much about Palestine, yet they wanted to know more about it. This made him realise that he does not want to escape the politics and started covering these issues in his music. Since his return to East Jerusalem in 2014 and after he published several Singles in Arabic and English on his YouTube Channel, he could build an online audience.

Murad started his career by uploading cover versions of popular songs on his YouTube channel which he created in 2009. Later, he added a Middle Eastern touch to the songs by using typical instruments in his covers before he started creating his own songs.

Bashar Murad (Arabic: بشار مراد; born February 7, 1993) is a Palestinian singer, songwriter, and social activist based in East Jerusalem. His music addresses societal norms, the Israeli Occupation, and LGBT+ rights in the Middle East. He is most commonly known for his collaboration with Icelandic Techno-Punk band Hatari on the song Klefi / Samed (صامد), which was shortly released after Hatari raised the Palestinian flag at the grand finale of Eurovision 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Murad was born in East Jerusalem in 1993. His mother's name is Fadia Daibes and his father is Said Murad, the founder of the Palestinian musical group, Sabreen, the first alternative Palestinian musical group. The band was founded in 1980 and Murad was born during the height of their career. This is one reason why for him music was always part of his identity and a means to escape from reality. Music helped him to overcome the pressure from growing up in an occupied territory and growing up homosexual in a conservative society.
