Career
[edit]Fade worked at a radio station in Sydney, Australia, at the age of 25, where he was introduced to Ian Grace, the CEO of Virgin Radio. He offered to transfer Fade to either Kuala Lumpur or Dubai, with Fade picking the latter in order to connect with his Arabic roots. He later became host of "The Kris Fade show".[5]

In 2024, he won the "Reality Personality of the Year" for his work on Dubai Bling at the National Reality TV Awards.[10]
Personal life
[edit]Fade's parents George and Gilda Fahd are both from Lebanon and have lived in Australia prior to having children.[citation needed]
