[1][2] Hany Shaker began his musical career at a very early age – learning the piano as a child, when his mother took on the role of agent as well as supervisor of his professional training.

Hany scored his first breakthrough hit in his second year of college in December 1972 with a song written by Mohammed El Mougi, "Heloua ya Dounia" (It's a Wonderful Life), which set him off on his musical career.

Until today Hany claims he owes his greatest musical debt to Abdel Halim Hafez, a man who continues to exert a huge influence on younger Egyptian and Arab musicians even after his death in 1977.

From then on Hany produced a number of his early hits: "Siboni Aheb" (Let me love), "Kisma w’nasib" (Destiny and fate) and one of his most popular "Kida Bardo Ya Amar" (It's not fair, oh Moon").

In the late eighties and the nineties he started to act through his video clips, including Lao Ya’ni, Nesyanak Sa’b, Mat Hadidish, Albi Maloh and many others.
