Ruby biography:
Egyptian Singer Rania Hussein Mohammed Tawfik (born October 8, 1981), known as Ruby, sometimes is an Egyptian singer and actress who rose to fame with her debut single "Enta Aref Leih" ("Do You Know Why?").

Egyptian Singer Ruby started her career as a model when Marcel Romanoff, the Dutch singer, spotted her in front of the American University in Cairo. Romanoff chose Ruby to appear in his music video. She later appeared in the music video of his song "Don't Make Me Cry". Ruby previously studied Law at Bani Suwayf University.

Egyptian Singer Ruby later worked in television commercials for several products, including Pringles, Sparkle, and Alo. She then worked with Egyptian film director Youssef Chahine in the film Sekoot Hansawwar (2001), in which she played the role of a wealthy girl who falls in love with her driver. Youssef Chahine is reportedly responsible for the switch to her stage name, Ruby. She also appeared in the comedy Film Thakafy in a minor role as a schoolgirl.

The first music video of her debut single "Enta Aref Leih" (2003), was directed by Sherif Sabri and was a hit on most satellite music stations in the Middle East during the summer of 2003. Ruby was criticized by the media for appearing in the provocative costume of a belly dancer in the song's music video. Despite this criticism, the successful single brought Ruby into the limelight.[2] The song was composed by the Egyptian musician Mohammad Rahim.


 

Ruby's second video was released in early 2004. Titled "Leih Beydary Kedah" and directed by Sherif Sabri, the video again also featured provocative scenes. The third music video of the song "El Gharaam (Koll Amma A'ollo Ah)" was accompanied by clips from Ruby's movie, Saba' Wara'aat Kotcheena (7 Playing Cards). The film was banned by the governments of Egypt, Syria and many other Arabic countries due to its usage of erotic themes. The film was directed and produced by Sherif Sabri in his first. Two music videos for the songs "Ana Omry Mastaneat Hadd" and "Ghawy" were released later.

"Mosh Hate'dar" is her the first single from her second album released in March 2007, titled Meshit Wara Ehsasy. The music video of "Mosh Hate'dar" surprised the audience due it less provocative presentation. The second single, "Meshit Wara Ehsasy", featured her performing in Giza, in front of the Pyramids and Sphinx.

Egyptian Singer Ruby has been questioned in numerous interviews about her provocative style and suggestive moves, to which she responded that she does not consider herself to be a sex symbol. She was also rumoured to be married to her manager, Sherif Sabri, but they have both denied the rumour.

In 2008 Egyptian Singer Ruby starred in the high-grossing Egyptian action film "The Promise" (Al-Wa3d).
