A believer in love, a champion of heartfelt storytelling, and a devoted filmmaker, Elie has spent decades channeling his journey into art. His latest release, My Falling Star, captures the essence of that journey with raw honesty and lyrical beauty.Born on July 8, 1982, in Beirut during Lebanon’s civil war, Elie was raised in a Christian Orthodox family where resilience and creativity flourished despite hardship. His father, Michael, a carpenter, instilled discipline and hard work, while his mother, Raymonda, encouraged his early love for singing even though she had set aside her own musical dreams. From an early age, Elie was captivated by the vibrant sound of 1980s hits, but it was the timeless melodies of The Beatles that truly ignited his passion. Inspired, he picked up an electric guitar and began composing songs that carried both joy and introspection.By 1996, Elie was refining his craft, and in 2000 he began performing publicly with his first band, Viceversa. These early years with classic rock cover bands laid the foundation for his later evolution into original, deeply personal compositions. His debut album, The Reflection of Changes (2012), showcased this growth while his parallel passion for cinema led him to direct and produce several feature-length films and shorts—works that, like his music, are rich in emotion and storytelling.After stepping away for a period to focus on film and personal milestones, Elie returned to music in 2025 with renewed energy. He began releasing songs in Arabic, culminating in My Falling Star, a song born from heartbreak yet filled with hope. Written after a profound breakup in 2024, the track draws inspiration from a night by the sea when Elie and his former partner witnessed a shooting star together. That fleeting, magical moment, later tinged with loss, became the foundation for a song that captures longing, reflection, and the fragility of human connection.For Elie, songwriting is cathartic. “I write from the heart,” he explains. “I’ve written more than 15 songs about my ex-girlfriend because every time we went through a breakup, a new song emerged. It’s not all heartbreak—some songs capture happiness too. But the ones born from heartbreak carry the most intensity because solitude allows my feelings to flow freely.”The music video for My Falling Star heightens the song’s emotional impact. Filmed at a historic seaside location in Lebanon during sunset, it reflects both vulnerability and strength. Elie recalls the exhilaration of performing on a massive stone wall with his custom-made guitar and a vintage 70s drum set, drawing inspiration from the timeless sound of bands like The Beatles and Keane.With decades of experience at the crossroads of music and cinema, Elie Al Hajj remains committed to creating art that resonates both emotionally and visually. His vision is clear: to leave a legacy as a kind, honest, and perfectionist artist whose work offers beauty in both joy and sorrow.My Falling Star is now available on YouTube.About Elie Al HajjElie Al Hajj is a Lebanese musician, composer, singer, producer, actor, and director.
