About Belly

Born Ahmad Balshe, Belly is an award winning, Oscar-nominated singer, songwriter, rapper and producer who has accumulated 8 billion+ streams across his catalog. Palestinian and Canadian-raised, he made his start releasing a string of underground mixtapes, leading to his first full-length album debut, The Revolution which immediately went Gold in Canada and solidifying him as a national phenomenon. After penning "Love Me Harder" for Ariana Grande and The Weeknd in 2014, he co-wrote six tracks from the chart-dominating album Beauty Behind The Madness, including "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” which received an Academy® Award nod for "Best Original Song.” Jay Z signed Belly to Roc Nation in 2015, where he unveiled Up For Days including the RIAA Platinum-certified hit, "Might Not." He also made significant contributions as a songwriter to half of The Weeknd's 2020 album, After Hours, including on the smash hit “Blinding Lights.” Belly's most recent album is a deeply personal project that serves as an ode to Palestine, capturing the essence of Belly’s roots and the ongoing struggles faced by his homeland. Executive produced by Belly, Daheala and Dannyboystyles, 96 Miles From Bethlehem is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, both personal and musical, allowing Belly to tell his people's story with raw honesty.
