learning and growing.
She was attracted to the arts, so
she took this
passion to
the end.
Somewhat of a child
prodigy,
She took her first ballet
steps at the age of five, and at the age of nine earned
first place on Tele-Liban (
Al Mawahib Al Saghira), in
oriental dance.
Her
early lessons in Classical Ballet improved her
sense of
music. Her multifaceted talents and abilities in
the world of art astonished her
teachers in school who encouraged her to improve and grow.
Myriam
felt the need to express her
feelings through her
voice that
springs from deep
inside her, so

the National Conservatory of Music and studied
musicology for
four years.

the District of
south Lebanon and earned the first prize, not to mention the Special Certificate from
Dr. Walid Gholmieh for the three Districts of

Mount Lebanon.
Still in the
blush of youth, Myriam’s
voice has a
personal stamp that doesn't sound like anyone else's and at
whatever age, with such an
innocent sensuality,
one that
seems to be of her own invention,
She is bound for
success.

20 and with the
guidance of her management company –

record deal with
Music Master
International and launched her first album on October
