Fareed Badra

Founder, HQ Digital Media

Born and raised in the USA, Fareed Badra's lifelong passion for classic Arabic songs transcends language barriers. Arabic not being his native tongue, he was naturally captivated by melody and sound quality rather than the intricacies of poetic lyrics.

Then In 2018, after a 20 year career in digital marketing, he chose to pivot and dedicate himself to his musical passion. Operating purely out of love and dedication, FaridHQ never pursued monetization; the sole objective was to enrich the legacy of Farid El Atrache by offering videos of value. This steadfast focus on providing quality content without consideration of monetary factors, has been the driving force behind the channel's remarkable popularity.

With recent advances in audio and visual techologies, FaridHQ has remained a vigilant observer and adopter. After putting in 10,000 hours of work dedicated to FaridHQ, Mr. Badra garnered a wealth of experience that emboldened him to establish a services enterprise centered on the enhancement of digital media. This offering extends to individuals and businesses alike, providing a means to elevate the quality of their digital content.

Amid the spectrum of sound quality in old Arabic songs, Fareed took on a personal quest —seeking to find the finest audio quality recordings for all his favorite songs.
