CHEEN (Cherine Amr) is an Egyptian guitarist, singer and songwriter. She was born and raised in Alexandria and started singing at the age of 6. When she was 18, she got interested in rock and metal music which motivated her to learn the guitar. At the age of 19, she started writing her own songs and formed the first female metal band in the Arab world, MASSIVE SCAR ERA [MASCARA].
The Egyptian director, Ahmad Abdalla heard one of her solo pop rock songs “Ab3ad Makan” and featured it in the Egyptian film Microphone (2011), starring Khaled Abol Naga, Menna Shalaby, and Youssra El-Lozi. After the success of the song, more audience got interested in her music, so she formed her solo band, CHEEN, and released an album under the name “3ALAM TANY”.
