At the age of 15, Myriam enrolled into the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory School. When she reached the age of 20, she officially pursued a career in entertainment.[2][3]
Fares made her acting debut with the television series Itiham.[4] The following year, her fifth studio album Aman broke the record for being the most played album on the streaming service Anghami.[5] In 2021, Fares starred in her own Netflix documentary film Myriam Fares: The Journey, which made her the first Middle Eastern and Arab artist to release a documentary on Netflix, with it ranking at number 1 in several countries worldwide.[6] Her 2018 single "Goumi" gained popularity on TikTok after a viral dance challenge Fares created surpassed 10 billion total views.[7] Fares also collaborated with other musicians Nicki Minaj and Maluma in 2022 on the official FIFA World Cup single, "Tukoh Taka."[8]
Life and career
[edit]1983–2005: Early life, beginnings and Nadini
[edit]Myriam Arbal Fares was born on May 3, 1983 in Kafar Shlal, a small village in Southern Lebanon Saida. Her journey in the world of arts began at the age of five when she started learning classical ballet. At the age of nine, she exhibited her talents on the television program Al Mawaheb Al Saghira and was honored with the first prize in oriental dancing by the Lebanese Public Television. Fares joined the Lebanese National Conservatory at the age of fifteen, dedicating four years of learning the foundations of oriental singing. At the age of 16, Myriam achieved the top position in "Lebanese song publicity" at the festival of the Lebanese song under the management of Unesco group in Lebanon. At the age of seventeen, she made her mark on the television talent program Studio El Fann in the category of Lebanese song, winning the title of best singer in the South of Lebanon, Beirut, and Mount Lebanon. [1] Soon after, Fares signed a contract with Music Master Records and released her debut song titled "Ana Wel Shog" as part of her debut album, Myriam. The album achieved success, with multiple songs hitting the charts, including the song "La Tes'alni" which topped the charts for two months. The track "Ghamarni" was especially popular in Eastern Europe and was translated into more than four languages including Russian, Ukrainian, and Chechen. Following the album release, Fares started touring globally. She also launched her own fragrance line, featuring scents such as "Ana wel Shog".[9]
In 2005, Myriam released her second album titled "Nadini Myriam," in both Lebanese and Egyptian. The album consisted of 10 songs, including "Aanadiya," "Hasisni Beek," "Leih Habibi," "Maarafsh Had bel Esmi da," "Hasat bi Aman," "Khalini Teer," and "Zaalan Menni," songs "Nadini," "Haklik rahtak," and "Waheshny Eah." From this album she filmed three music videos for the songs "Nadini," "Haklik rahtak," and "Waheshny Eah."[10] The music video for "Haklik Rahtak," was shot in Theatre Gymmase Marie Belle in Paris.[11] The song "Nadini" charted for approximately two months. The music video for "Wa7ishni Eh," had a racing theme, with Fares performing some stunts along with a professional stunt driver. The song was translated into several languages such as Ashuriya, Turkish and Iranian. She also launched her second fragrance line, called "Nadini".[12]
Myriam has collaborated with a multitude of global brands. In 2007, she engaged in her successful collaboration with the globally renowned telecommunications company, "Vodafone Egypt", she starred as the face of this company. [13]
In 2008, Myriam released her highly anticipated first Khaliji Mega hit, accompanied by a captivating music video, titled "Moukanoh Wein." Myriam integrated the rich Eastern heritage of the Gulf area with its modernity, presenting it to her generation. Following the tremendous success of her song, she embraced the concept of fusing civilizations and cultures through music, presenting a new approach. By blending tradition with modernity, Myriam not only appealed to a wide audience but also showed her artistic ability to create a unique musical experience. It did a bomb in the Arab world and especially in the Gulf area because of the amazement of the choreography in the music video. After the tremendous success of her song, Myriam had a meeting with the Kuwaiti audience during the largest festival in the Arab world at that time, "Hala February." In this festival, she was crowned the "Queen of the Stage" due to the uniqueness of her performance.

Upon its release, "Tukoh Taka" quickly rose to the top of the music charts in both the region and the world. The song and its music video incorporated three different languages: English, Spanish, and Arabic. In the Arabic part, Fares aimed to send a message to promote peace in Arab countries, especially Lebanon. The music video was shot in Los Angeles.[18] The FIFA Fan Festival's opening in Qatar witnessed an elaborate performance by Fares, featuring 50 dancers, 50 musicians, 400 costumes, 40 technicians and graphics.
