Nancy Agram (Arabic: نانسي عجرم‎)
(born May 16, 1983) is a multiple
award-winning Lebanese pop singer and dancer.
She is best known for her studio albums,
music videos, commercials and songs such as
Akhasmak Ah, Ya Salam, Ah W Noss and Ya
tabtab Wa Dalla.
Ajram has sold over twelve million records in
the Arabian world. Having sold over four
million albums in Lebanon, Ajram ranks as the
third best-selling female artist in Lebanese
and Egyptian music history.
Ajram is one of the richest Lebanese singers;
her personal wealth, mostly earned from her
high album sales and commercials, has
exceeded $16 million.
Ajram first came to fame as a winning member
of the entertainment show Noujoum
Al-Moustakbal ("Stars of the Future"), a
Lebanese television musical competition, in
mid-1990s, after which she produced two
unsuccessful albums, Mihtagalak ("I Need
You') in 1998, followed by Sheel Oyoonak Anni
("Take Your Eyes Off Of Me") in 2000. She
subsequently emerged at the forefront of the
pop music scene in the early 2000s, thanks to
her third album, Ya Salam ("How Fantastic"),
which was crafted by Lebanese producer Jiji
Lamara. Her second album, Ah W Noss, was
released the following year.
In the early 2000s, Ajram's success as a
singer led her to high-profile advertising
deals, most notably for Coca-Cola, as well as
Damas Jewelry. Her second and third albums
were released during this era and included
more artistic input that Ajram developed.
In 2006, she confirmed on Akid Akid Maestro
with Nishan Derharoutnionan that she is
planning to marry next year, but has not
named the groom.
