Al'a Ayyoub (Arabic: علاء أيوب) is a Jordanian singer/songwriter.
He was first noticed online by several recording engineers, which took interest in his powerful chord progressions and strong composing abilities. By the age of 17, he was offered to work with a local studio on a demo of his song Bliss, which would be used in a local radio show introduction. He was subsequently offered a record label from a small US-based company, which he declined.
Al'a Ayyoub's song 'You Let Me Love You' was sent to local radio stations after recording engineer Danny Lee encouraged him to release them. Jordan's number 1 radio station Play listed him as one of the top Jordanian local talents, which allowed him to reach a larger audience. Al'a is currently spending time in the studio recording new singles, hoping to show Jordanians that great local talent does exist, but is not being heard.
[edit] Trivia
- Originally the song Bliss was written for a friend he loved but lost. The song was rewritten the following year for release on Play 99.6, and the lyrics were changed for somebody else. The original song included hidden vocals of people he was close with.
