Musical career
When she released her first album, "Baddi Mennak", she was signed with Alam El Phan[2], an Egyptian record label perhaps known for also being the record label of Samira Said[3] and Haifa Wehbe[4]. Her second album, "Mfakar Halak Min", was released via her current label Rotana Records.[5]
Internationally she might be known for her collaborations with Akon, with whom she collaborated once on the song "Yalli Naseeni"[6], and Dr. Alban, with whom she collaborated twice; in 2008 on the song "Habibi (Somebody Call My Name)" (part of her second album), and in 2010 with the song "Tell Me Wath U Want (Gharamak)".[7][8]
