Lebanese composer

Hadi Riad Sharara (or Hady Sharara, Arabic: هادي شرارة, born 1969) is a Lebanese music arranger, composer and producer.[1] He is the son of the famous Lebanese television anchor Riad Sharara[2][3] and the husband of the famous Lebanese singer of Carole Sakr.[4]

He has also been the music producer of the Arabic versions of The X Factor[5] and Dancing with the Stars.[6]

He was subject to criticism because of his statements during the "Menna w Jerr" episode by Pierre Rabbat on MTV, considering that the artist Maya Diab possesses the qualifications that his father Riad Sharara had,[2] which prompted him to issue an explanation during which he declared his remorse for appearing in the program.[7][8]
