Abdelhamid Ali Ahmed al-Shaeri (Arabic: عبد الحميد علي أحمد الشاعري, romanized: ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ʿAlī Aḥmad ash-Shāʿirī; born 29 November 1961), better known as Hamid al-Shaeri (also al-Sha'eri and al-Sha'iri; Arabic: حميد الشاعري, romanized: Ḥamīd ash-Shāʿirī), is an Egyptian-Libyan singer, songwriter, and producer, who lives in Egypt.

Born in Benghazi to an Egyptian mother and Libyan father, al-Shaeri first achieved notice in Libya as a founding member of the Sons of Africa during the 1970s, before choosing to move to his maternal country Egypt, where he released his first album, Ayonha, in 1983.

He briefly studied aviation in the United Kingdom, where he was first exposed to synth-pop, though his father originally forbade him from pursuing a career as a musician.

Composed of songs recorded during his time in Libya, the United Kingdom, and Egypt, the album found limited commercial and critical success during its initial release.

[4] Outside of the Arab world, al-Shaeri received renewed attention in 2017 when his song "Ayonha" was featured on Habibi Funk's seventh compilation.
