The album went on to become a multi-platinum success, reaching the number 1 spot on Amazon’s ‘World Music’ charts and number 8 on the R&B charts. His debut album ‘Thank You Allah’ was released by Awakening Records in October 2009 to international acclaim. In early 2009, Maher decided to leave the New York music production scene and join forces with Awakening Records (UK) to create an album that was fully reflective of spiritual growth and development as an artist. Not long after, a spiritual awakening led him to consider creating music reflective of his multi-faceted identity exploring what it meant to be of European, Arab and Muslim descent in the political, social and economic landscape of the 21st century. Through his initial interest in the R&B genre, Maher previously worked with internationally renowned producer RedOne. His YouTube channel alone garners over 100 million views a month. With more than 26 million fans worldwide, Maher is the most popular Muslim artist on Facebook, and the most viewed on YouTube, with his official and fan-made music videos exceeding 5.8 billion views. The Swedish singer, songwriter and music producer has released three albums with Awakening Records, Thank You Allah (2009), Forgive Me (2012) and One (2016), with his debut album being certified platinum by Warner Music Malaysia and Sony Music Indonesia. Multi-platinum, award-winning musical sensation, Maher Zain, is lovingly dubbed “Islamic pop’s biggest stars” by The New York Times (2017).
