Al-Johar dreamed of being a policeman

CAIRO: Every artist has a story to tell about how he or she entered the the entertainment world. We’ve heard of stars starting off as models, others as nightclub singers and some by complete chance.
For Saudi singer Abadi Al-Johar, it was the last two!
According to Gololy news, Johar stepped into showbiz by coincidence, when he was on a medical trip to Egypt with his mother.
At the time, he had taken his mother to Cairo for treatment, and the only way to pay off her medical bills was to sing in nightclubs!
Although Johar had a real talent for singing, his real dream was to become a police officer. But as luck had it, his neighbor, the late singer Talal Maddah, heard him sing and was astonished by the quality of his voice.
That’s when he tutored him on his journey to stardom in the singing world.
