Saudi singer Bader Al-Shuaibi prepares for Nickelodeon awards performance
Saudi singer Bader Al-Shuaibi is gearing up to take the stage at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Abu Dhabi this evening.
Ahead of his show, the Kuwaiti-born and -based star — who recently celebrated the birth of his fourth daughter — spoke to a state media about what to expect from his performance.
The pop singer, known for his hits “Mahsoma,” “Ya Hob,” and “Yalghair,” promised his fans that his Nickelodeon show will be “different.”
He said: “I’m very excited to be part of this huge show with stars and influencers coming from around the world. It is an indescribable feeling, and I am very happy to be among the stars performing.”
This will not be Al-Shuaibi’s first time performing in the UAE; however, he is looking forward to meeting more of his fans in the capital city. “Every time I go on stage, the enthusiasm is different because the audience is huge and it’s as if it’s the first time,” he said.
The singer was equally positive about the Saudi music scene in general. He said: “I see a bright future for Saudi music. There is a noticeable — very positive — development, which is more than wonderful.”
Al-Shuaibi — who was one of the first GCC artists to be signed by Sony Music — said he is currently working on a new song called “Enta Ghair” that he will release soon. He is also preparing for an “exceptional concert” in Kuwait on Sept. 22.
Other artists performing at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards are award-winning group Now United, Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter and composer Elyanna, Jordanian singer-songwriter Issam Al-Najjar, Jordanian rising star Siilawy, and Moroccan singer Manal.
The event will be hosted by British singer-songwriter Jessie J and Syrian social media star and content creator Ossy Marwah.
The show airs on Nickelodeon Arabia on Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. Saudi time. It will also air on Nickelodeon channels internationally.
