Star Academy


Bashar's fame started along with the reality television show called Star Academy on LBC.[1][2] There were rumors of a love affair between him and Moroccan contestant Sophia Marikh.[3][4] Gulf News reported that teenagers welcomed him as a superstar.[5] Bashar was the runner-up,[6] but lost to Mohammed Attiyeh of Egypt.[2]

The following October, according to an Al Bawaba report, police investigated al-Shatti following a scuffle in Marina Mall in Kuwait. The report stated that fans gathered for pictures and autographs at a coffee shop where he and his brother were sitting, and that al-Shatti got into a physical altercation with some young hecklers, who later called the police.[7]


Later career


After Star Academy, he signed a multi-record deal with Rotana Records. Al-Shatti recorded two records with Rotana. In 2008, he terminated his contract with Rotana to cooperate with Arab Radio and Television Network (ART) and release a third album.[1] Al-Shatti has collaborated with Kuwaiti artist Nabil Shoail.[8] Al-Shatti composes for television serials and cartoons, and has written religious music.[1] He participated in the composition of the Alwatan TV inauguration operetta.[1] Al-Shatti recently branched out into an acting career, taking a role on an MBC television series.[9] Additionally, he was the artist panellist on Qualitynet's home video contest, "Fakkar Ana Khouf?" which was decided on 15 December 2012.[10]


Impact


In Arab Television Today, British media author Naomi Sakr described Al Shatti as "charismatic".[2] Marwan M. Kraidy has called him "a pan-Arab heartthrob".[3]


Personal life


Bashar has three brothers and one sister.[1] He married in early 2011.[11] He has a son, Abdul Rahman.[12] He has also spoken his views on the Syrian revolution, saying, "Aside from being an artist, I am first a human. It isn't human to accept murder, massacres and crimes against children."[9]
