Mohamed Chahrour

Mohamed Ahmad Chahrour was born in Berlin in 1993. He is the sixth of eight children of Lebanese civil war refugees who came to West-Berlin from Lebanon in the 1980s. Chahrour works as an actor, composer, music producer and songwriter. He also works as a martial arts trainer and manager. Already in elementary school, Mohamed used to be part of the Drama Club, learned to write notes and had his first own points of contact with Acting and Music. His father, himself a musician, first wanted to prevent his son from taking the same path. All attempts to prevent him from following in his footsteps were unsuccessful and his Son kept doing what he loved secretly. Soon Mohamed made contacts in the French music scene. He initially worked with newcomers and later established French musicians. This was followed by creative work at songwriting camps and later collaborations with various artists of the German music scene. In 2017, a talent scout walked into an MMA gym where Mohamed used to train. He told him he was looking for actors for a new TV series and wanted Mohamed to read for it. Although he didn't get the part, Mohamed was able to convince his family that he could have a future in acting and that this was the path he wanted to take. Three years later he met his agent Olgu Caglar, with whom he began to work a little later. In 2021, in cooperation with Marcus Staiger and Daniel Hirsch, he published the podcast "Clanland" for the public broadcaster "Radio Fritz", which was intended to clear up the prejudices from the German majority society against Arab clans because he himself is a clan member. The podcast was one of the most successful podcasts in 2021 in German-speaking countries and was nominated for the German Radio Award. Chahrour is regularly invited to interviews regarding the Arab/Lebanese community in Germany and Arab clans.
