To begin with, the boy was raised in Egypt. Being young, he had a dream to become a footballer but he failed. Then he tried classical singing inspired by artists like Abdel Halim Hafez and Farid El Atrache. He played the piano and guitar, and later began to write and arrange songs.
Being 18 years old, at a party where he was singing on the occasion of the birthday of a friend, he met Nasr Mahrous, who spotted him and invited him to participate in the program of “The chain Al-Nil lel monawaate”. Afterwards, he had the opportunity to record his first single “Habibi wenta beid” in 2001, then in 2002, he sang in duet with Sherine Abdel Wahhab, a childhood friend in the album which later became a best seller. Unfortunately, for having deviated from military service, Tamer was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment, however, this did not distract him from his career – on the contrary, he attracted the sympathy and compassion of all his fans who adored him.
