  • Tamer loved his mother. She was Syrian, but was brought up and lived all her life in Egypt. She gave up her life to bring up Tamer and his elder brother Hossam in the absence of their father, Hosny Sherif. Tamer Hosny grew up with a passion for soccer and is said to have played it professionally for nine years, seven years in El Ahly club and two years in El Zamalek club. Tamer Hosny was introduced by Salma El Shamaa to opera. Later, he was recognized by Mahrous, manager and owner of Free Music. He later on signed a contract with Free Music in 2002. Tamer didn't debut, as most people believe, with Sherine's first mixtape. Instead, he was featured in previous mixtapes, and one of them featured other artists like Khaled Agag and Mohamed Mounir. He graduated from October Six University, with a Bachelor's degree in Media Studies.

Hosny starred in the 2003 Egyptian movie, Halet Hobb (A State of Love). The movie featured music by Hosny himself.

In 2004, he released his first studio album as a Solo artist. Titled Hobb, the album featured the single "Arrab Habibi". The album was quite a success to Hosny as a solo artist. His hit, "Arrab Habibi", was heavily rotated on satellite music channels and became very popular.

When Hosny became more financially capable, he decided to look for his father. His father was away for 19 years, until Hosny found him in London. He went after him and encouraged him to go back to Egypt, which he did.

The movie Sayyed El Atfy was released in 2005, and featured 2 extremely successful songs. "Koll Marra" and "Nour Einy", both were performed within the movie. The full versions of the songs accompanied the performance in addition to scenes from the movie were made into music videos. They were initially exclusive to Melody Hits channel.

In 2005, Hosni was embroiled in a trial case in which he was charged with forging a passport and avoiding conscription.[1] It was a heavily publicized case in the media, since he and fellow Egyptian artist Haytham Shaker were both convicted with the same charges. It has been reported that they both went to professional forgers to create a document that they completed military service in Egypt. This came in the middle of Hosny's preparations for a new album and a movie(Omar and Salma). It was also reported that the news leaked after the forger himself confessed to a close friend of his.

They were both sentenced to 3 years in jail, and were fined 50,000 L.E each. Rumors have circulated that Hosny's sentence was shortened. He was released from jail in 16th September 2006.

During his imprisonment, Nasr Mahrous released the album Einaya Bethebbak, as well as a music video from one of the album's singles.

At the end of March 2007, Hosny released his latest album "Ya Bent El-Eih" after long time working for it. The album featured 13 songs, 9 of them were stolen and leaked on the internet a week before the official release. Tamer Hosny's official site calls this album "a nice album that (is) considered to be his first real step in his musical life".

At the beginning of June 2007, Tamer released his latest movie Omar & Salma with Mai Ezzedine.

Recently, Tamer Hosny released an album, that consists of Islamic and Ramadan themed songs, called Il Ganna Fe Biotna (Heaven is in our Homes). It was released on 10th September 2007.
