He was known for his 1963 song "Ya Bahi El Djamel", which drove him to pursue a career in singing and violin. He brought new life to the Malouf genre of music with the tracks "Mahbounati" and "Adala Ya Adala", which earned him great public success. This helped him be noticed by senior members of the Malouf singing community, such as Hassen El Annabi, Mohamed Tahar Fergani, and Abdelmoumène Bentobal.
