Talented singer and dancer, Myriam Faris is a breath of fresh air in the
music scene and the creator of her own style. With her music
achievements, starting from her début album to her live performances at
the most prestigious concerts, Myriam has set new standards, ones of a
complete artist. A young artist from south Lebanon, Myriam grew up in a
family that respects education and believes in 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 she registered at the National
Conservatory of Music and studied musicology for four years.
At the age of sixteen, Myriam participated at the Lebanese Song Festival
where she won the first prize for the public Lebanese song nomination.
At seventeen she participated in Studio El Fan 2000 for 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 South
Lebanon, Beirut, and 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.
At the age of 21 and with the guidance of her management company – Music
Is My Life, Myriam signed her first record deal with Music Master
International and launched her first album on October 21, 2003 at the
Virgin Megastore – Beirut. The Album witnessed immediate success and
became a best seller for a debut Artist.
Her music video for the hit song "Ana Wel Shouk" from her album, became
one of the most requested music videos as soon as it was broadcasted on
local and cable televisions, marking Myriam's talent and dynamic image
in the public's heart.
Myriam's next move was to shoot her second music video "La Tis'alni",
directed by Selim El Turk. The new clip that showed Myriam in two
different characters (Twin Sisters) highlighted the artist's charisma
and fun personality; she was also able to express herself through a
unique dance of her own creation.
During Myriam's promotional tours for her album in Jordan, the UAE and
Egypt, media representatives and her large fan base gave her a unique
welcome. Wherever she went, she was overwhelmed by people's response and
appreciation for her art.
Myriam is seen as a one of a kind artist in the Middle East. Her show
includes a rich repertoire of classic and modern songs, a remarkable
voice and the capacity to move and dance on stage, giving one of the
most dynamic performances.
Summer 2004, was a very busy time for Myriam, she traveled all over the
Middle East to participate in successful and sold out concerts which
earned her the nickname of "Queen of Sage".
Egypt awarded her as "Best Female Young Artist" and gave a prize for
best video clip. The support of the media who where following every step
of this young talent towards stardom, contributed in the large notoriety
the artist now enjoys.
During "Ramadan" of the same year, Myriam's success got the attention of
one of the most renowned perfume creators in the region, "Mahmoud
Saiid". He collaborated with Myriam on creating and launching a unique
fragrance for men and for women by the name of her first hit song "Ana
Wel Shooq".
Myriam shot the TV commercial for "Ana Wel Shooq" perfume, which was
released on most satellite TV stations. Her natural beauty and graceful
movements contributed to the high impact of the spot and the success of
"Ana Wel Shooq" perfume in the Arab world.
Myriam is currently preparing her second album, yet to be entitled. It
involves collaboration with Lebanese and Egyptian composers. The artist
is working on an album that will resemble her, that will be able to
concretize her spirit in music.
All throughout her early career, which is still in its early stages,
Myriam has had a continuous and unrelenting support from her family,
especially her mother who persistently stood by her side all along the
way. "I would have never made it without my beloved mother's help", says
Myriam.
