Full Name: Aly El sayed Amr Fathalla
Date of birth: 10th of June 1981
Some take forever to find out what they want to do for the rest of their lives but Aly knew since childhood. His unique interests were obvious amongst his 4 siblings; as his brothers were attracted to swords and guns he was captivated by musical instruments like electric pianos and organs, it was obvious that he had music running through his veins at a very young age. Coming from an artistic Family with the prominent writer Morsy saad El din and the legendary Musician Baligh Hamdy for grand parents, he was able to identify his calling and pursue it early in his life. By the time he was 16 he had produced his first dance track and was known at school for his ability to produce and mix dance music.
His Family always encouraged him to follow his dreams but still insisted that he study something that can provide a stable Job. He graduated from the Arab academy for science and technology with a bachelors in architecture in 2005 all the while pursuing a career in Music and trying to enter a very difficult field with only hopes of success and attempts to find a way into the job of his dreams.
His Career as an Advertising music producer started in 2001 when he was still a college student when a friend recommended him to score a soundtrack for a 7 up advertisement and his creation was very well received, he then went on to produce music for Chipsy, Pepsi and all the major egyptian and international brands franchised in Egypt. One field led to another and he proceeded to producing and arranging songs and TV series themes and theme songs that all were pillars into making him known and acknowledged in the Egyptian Market. In 2011 he began to produce TV channel idents with the launch of CBC Egypt and this started his productions in that field. This career is merely one of two passions, because no matter what he creates on brief there’s a certain part of his soul than can’t be fulfilled without Trance music.
Aly is also an integral partner in the international Trance Duo “Aly & Fila”; his first track with his childhood buddy and life long partner Fila was released in 2003 when Aly was just 22 years old and went on to become a great hit and be played by the legend Paul Van Dyk. This Release kick started his and Fila’s successful careers as international trance producers who hail from the land of the pharaohs and they were able to find a place in the Trance scene as the two Egyptians who made it. “Aly & Fila” went on to become one of the top DJs in the world now ranking at 17 on the official DJ rankings.
In 2016 Aly was finally able to crown his god given talent with knowledge and science when he enrolled in the pristine Berklee College of Music and received 3 diplomas and certifications in 2017 and 2018 that gave him a better understanding of the inner-works of all the genres of music that he has so passionately practiced.
His young career of 18 years still has many endeavors to go after, many fields yet to conquer and a sea of dreams waiting to be achieved. He works with a professional philosophy that always aspires for the best with every production no matter how big or small and he functions harboring the belief that the best is yet to come.
