Where was your childhood, and who inspired you to become a singer?
I was born in Point a Pitre, Guadeloupe, France to French Lebanese Catholic Parents, where I grew up and stayed till the age of 7, before returning to Lebanon. My passion for music started at a young age influenced by my mother Venus Karam who is a singer and a guitarist mostly singing Christian songs in churches.
What about dancing, and how was the beginning?
Before pursuing my career in singing, I started taking dance classes at the age of 10. Then, I travelled to Germany and Armenia for additional private dance lessons.
How was your way to represent Lebanon in international forums?
In a very short period of time, I became in the front row of the professional dancing field; I started winning tournaments and finally taking home the title of the Lebanese Latin Championship and the Lebanese Latin Cup in 2011. I started representing my country in myriad dance competitions worldwide, especially at the Olympic Games in China.
How about university life, and is it true that you speak four languages?
From 2005 to 2009, I studied at the university of NDU Lebanon, where I majored in nutrition. I speak four languages fluently French, Arabic, English, and Spanish.
