Nancy Ajram Biography:
(born on May 16th, 1983). Nancy Ajram started singing at the age of eight, when she appeared for the first time in 1991 at a singing contest for kids on national television in Lebanon. In 1995, at the age of twelve, Nancy Ajram took part in the entertainment show, Noujoum Al-Moustakbal, ("Stars of the Future"), a Lebanese television musical competition, winning a gold medal in the Tarab category after singing a song by Umm Kulthum.
Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram studied music following her early success with renowned Lebanese musicians. The syndicate of professional artists in Lebanon accepted Nancy Ajram as a member because they found her to be an exceptional talent and deserved to be qualified as a professional artist. Shortly afterwards Nancy Ajram released her first album, Mihtagalak ("I Need You') in 1998, with most of its songs holding a pure Tarab style. It was followed by Sheel Oyoonak Anni ("Take Your Eyes Off Of Me") in 2000, which achieved more success.
In the early 2000s, Nancy Ajram's success as a singer led to high-profile advertising deals, most notably for Coca-Cola and Damas Jewelry. Nancy Ajram remained the only Arab star promoting Coke until late 2007 when Egyptian sensations Mohammed Hamaki and Tamer Hosni joined in as well. Coca-Cola and Nancy Ajram formed a great team for about four years making commercials and music videos that stood out in the Arab world
