The iconic singer was born on December 13, 1956, in Kfarshima village, Lebanon. She is the daughter of the Lebanese musician Halim El Roumi.

The soprano participated in the talent show “Studio El Fan in 1974” after she sneaked out of the house with her brother and cousins, where she won the gold medal for oriental singing.

Her success prompted her father to change his mind and give her his blessings to pursue a music career as long as she continues her higher education.
