In 2013, Khodr Alama has organized with the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) for Ragheb Alama to be appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador in West Asia.

In event organizing, Khodr and Backstage Production organized the two closing ceremonies for the 6th Jeux de la Francophonie in 2009 which was held in Beirut, and continuously organize festivals and concerts around the Middle East, mostly featuring Ragheb Alama.

Alama would also continue with the success of his brother Ragheb, and even achieved a Platinum Certification from Virgin Megastores in Dubai for the album “Ba’sha’ak”. Khodr gained attention in 2010 when he was able to secure a deal with Sony Music Entertainment to feature Ragheb Alama on a song with international Colombian singer Shakira which was featured on the Backstage-produced album “Starz Vol. 1” which was sold at Starbucks Coffee shops, with which Khodr was also able to make a deal. This international outlook on management made Backstage Production an international name in artist management, event organizing, and music production, and the company was featured in the 44th edition of the Midem Guide. Khodr did not limit his management skills to the work of Ragheb, and has also signed international artists such as DJ Karma and Legha.

Alama is a graduate of York University, where he was a Business major. He began a career in the music industry as a guitarist and manager for his brother Ragheb Alama, who had won the Platinum Medal on the hit Lebanese TV show Studio El Fan in 1980. With his brother’s direction and management, Ragheb was able to always be ranked at the top of the charts in the Middle East, North Africa and the Persian Gulf for close to 25 years.
