Early life

Mokhtar Jedwan grew up in an artistic family, where each of his three brothers had his own musical group. He was especially influenced by listening to the mythical groups of Nass El Ghiwane and Jil Jilala.

In late 1983, Jedwane formed his own orchestra and began performing in special events and celebrations till he was discovered by a producer who offered him a contract.[1] Since then, he has released several albums and became a widely known musician in Morocco, mostly performing at weddings and parties.

In 2008, at the age of forty, Jedwan decided to stop his musical career, and devote his time to Islamic preaching.[2]

gollark: If you want to know about what *you* should do, then it's more reasonable to ask about the morality of actions, not people, because the people way runs into accursed counterfactuals very fast.
gollark: For that the purpose is probably something like "should you be eternally tortured", which I think the answer to is literally always "no".
gollark: First, consider for what purpose you want to know whether it's "evil" or not to have been that person.
gollark: I don't believe in objective evil and I subscribe to the view that asking whether something is "evil" or not is not very useful because it's a very fuzzy word/category.
