Most of his songs are of his composition. Gamal was distinguished in Arab Idol with his deep strong sensitive voice, that one of the critics said: "his voice is like a violin and doesn't need music while singing". Gamal became widely known with his title Esultan (The Sultan),[1] given to him by Arab Idol judges. Moreover, his fans have given him many titles such as, Elking Elsagheer (The Little King),[2] and Elandaleeb Elgedeed (the New Nightingale).[3]
