Known for her exceptional stage presence, impressive dance skills, and unique musical versatility, she has earned the nickname “The Queen of Stage.”

From a young age, Myriam displayed a passion for music and dance. At just five years old, she began studying classical ballet, a discipline that would later define her performance style. Her artistic education continued at the National Conservatory of Music in Lebanon, where she specialized in oriental singing. By the age of sixteen, she had already won first prize in the Lebanese television competition “Studio El Fan,” launching her into the spotlight and paving the way for her professional career.

In 2003, Myriam released her debut album, Myriam, which included the hit single “Ana Wel Shoq.” The album showcased her distinctive mix of Arabic pop and traditional Lebanese rhythms, immediately setting her apart in the Arab music scene. Her follow-up albums — Nadini (2005), Bet’oul Eh (2008), Myriam Fares Greatest Hits (2011), and Aman (2015) — further solidified her reputation as a trailblazer who bridges traditional Arabic music with modern, international influences.
