Quotes

  • I’m always happy because I feel very blessed and I love my life. Between my family and work, I have lots to smile about!
  • The day was so memorable, with so many talented artists coming together for such a great cause. I just remember looking around thinking: “I can’t believe I’m recording with all these guys.” I loved singing with Lisa Stansfield, she’s a legend!
  • My daughter, Gracie, is seven and she’s a lovely singer and dancer. She loves to play the piano. She’s a whole bundle of fun. Nothing’s certain in show business, so you have to be determined and dedicated. But as long as she’s happy, that’s all I can wish for her.
  • A lot of my aunties sang. Our singing voices come from my dear grandma, who was a powerful music hall singer. I was about six when I fell in love with singing, and eight when I won a singing competition for up to 16-year-olds. I just knew that singing was for me and some of my favourite singers are Elaine Paige, Barbra Streisand, Barbara Dickson and Whitney Houston.
  • One of the best memories: meeting a choir in the United States for a tour. It was moving, the Keystone State Boychoir. They sang texts from my repertoire in Arabic for the first time to accompany me in concerts.
  • It's definitely not a burden because I love traveling. It's a discovery of others, a pleasure, and above all, communication and sharing of my music and singing with different people.
