Nancy Ajram - Lebanese woman who is one of Arabic music’s biggest stars


One of the most recognisable names and faces in the Middle East, Nancy Ajram is one of Arabic music’s biggest stars.

The Lebanese singer boasts more than five million Twitter followers, built on the back of eight hit albums - the most recent of which, Nancy 8, was released during 2014. A regular award winner and live performer, Ajram has put her fame to good use, participating in numerous charity events and concerts. In 2009 UNICEF chose Ajram as the first female regional ambassador for MENA. Her appeal and recognition is not confined to the Arab world, however. Oprah Winfrey branded her one of the most influential personalities in the Middle East.
