"On the way between worlds"

My journey to being a singer was long and is still ongoing.

I came to Germany from Lebanon when I was 19, but to study piano. It wasn't until much later, through a life-changing encounter with my mentor and very good companion Markus Stockhausen, that I discovered my talent - my versatile voice.

In Rostock I studied classical and popular singing and in various projects I was also allowed to incorporate my Arabic roots again and again.

Today I know that with my singing and my music I can build bridges and meet people in many ways - for me the greatest joy.
