Early childhood

In his early childhood, Ahmed Fathi showed his lute playing talent but his conservative family stood against him. His father broke his son's lute many times but he didn't give up. He made his own music instruments himself. In a party held in Alhoodeida in the year 1967, he met the Aden star Ahmed Qasim who praised his talent and asked him to come to Aden so that he could help him polish his skill. Ahmed Fathi left his home secretly and went to Aden where he received free lessons from the musician. Later, in a school party, the Minister of Education Ahmed Jaber Afif was impressed by Fathi's talent and awarded him a scholarship to study music at the Arab Music High Institute in Cairo.
