He has a beautiful sister called Maryam, (was born 13th of June, 1983). Also an annoying younger brother called Arqam (1st of January, 1985).
Hamdan Al Abri (born 18 April 1981 in Dubai) is a Singer/Songwriter and one of the founders and front man of Dubai-based soul band ABRI. Abri began singing at a young age and started his career working alongside numerous groups and bands in Dubai and abroad. Abri and the band released two widely acclaimed albums in relatively quick succession: Sunchild & Blank Notes. ABRI toured through India, Bahrain, UK, the Maldives & the U.A.E and performed alongside Erykah Badu, Ziggy Marley, Arrested Development, Kanye West and Joss Stone.
After completing school in 2001 he moved to Miami and studied at the Miami University of Art and Design. While in college, he joined a rock band called Plex, in which he sang leading vocals.
In October 2005 Hamdan and Julian Symes formed the soul band ABRI. Hamdan sang leading vocals and Symes played the keyboard. Justin Atherley joined as the bassist and his brother Andre Atherley later joined as the drummer. Justin was replaced by Rami Lakkis when he went back to the UK. Abri released their first album Sunchild in 2006 consisting of 12 tracks.
