The king of Oud and tone, the hard number that started his journey with an Oud made of a plate iron and a plastic thread along with his great determination, he could embrace his dream and never give up on his father's punishments. When his father used to prohibit him from playing or even buying Oud, he made his own one. And even though his father broke his first one, he made many others. Eventually, he could break away with his dream to become the unbreakable Oud that is called " Ahmed Fatt'hi".

He began his journey from the age of eight when he used to listen to the music of some artists in his house. Their melodies lived vividly in his heart and mind and turned him into a genius composer who came up with melodies of a unique Yemeni flavor that can be distinguished among dozens of melodies.
