About

Pharaoh’s Entertainment Group began in 1985 as a small band from Jersey City, NJ simply named “The Pharaohs “. With the breakup of the group in 1989, George Mousa, the band’s keyboardist, broke out on his own and since then has shared the stage with some the most popular singers and musicians in and around the Metropolitan Area not to mention the Middle East. He is a recognized performer in the tri-state’s most prestigious Middle Eastern Clubs, Wedding and Party Venues. Even with the success of his private endeavors, George held on to his dream to start another band. In 1995 George met the very talented singer and front man, Waleed Albakry who just relocated from Cairo, Egypt to New York City. The musical chemistry began a partnership that would eventually become “Pharaohs”. George and Waleed worked very hard to find the right musicians for the band. By late 1995 the new Pharaohs was formed.

In very short time and after much hard work, “The Pharaohs” were a big success! They were in high demand from the Arabic and Egyptian community because they were so unique and gave a quality performance to their clients. A great talented singer with a group of the best musicians on a single stage made “The Pharaohs” stand out from all the other bands in the market.
In 1999, George Mousa, always looking to add new and diverse options for his client, began D.J.ing Arabic and American music to satisfy the community’s need for such entertainment. This enabled his client to opt for alternative entertainment for use in smaller venues with lesser budgets.
Needless to say, by the year 2000, “The Pharaohs D.J.” Project was added to the successful Pharaohs Entertainment and was in equal demand. People began hiring the D.J.’s for events such as Henna, Weddings, Graduations and Sweet Sixteen parties just to name a few.
With the talent and experience of Pharaohs D.J’s, George Mousa the community changed their opinion about D.J.’s as a band alternative. Everyone thought D.J.’s only spun American music, but the Pharaoh’s provided a D.J. mixture of Arabic and American that was well accepted and applauded. The “pharaohs entertainment” had the honor to share the stage with top super stars from the middle east such as amro diab, hakim, ehab tawfik, Mohamed fouad, mostafa amar, hisham abbas, simon, helmy ablebaki, Katya Harb, Mohamed Elezabie, and many more other.
As a founder of Pharaohs Entertainment Group, George Mousa would like to extend his heartfelt thanks to every one from his community that hired and supported them.
