    Elissa Facts

  • She had first come into the spotlight in 1992 when she had secured the ‘Silver’ medal in Studio El Fan, one of the Arab world’s first star-maker talent shows, held in Lebanon.
  • For the titular single of her 3rd studio album, titled Ayshalak (I Live For You) (2002), she had filmed the music video in Paris and had been dressed by Christian Dior. This was the first time that the Paris-based fashion house had worked with an Arab artist.
  • In 2005, she had become the first Lebanese singer to have won a World Music Award. This was in the category of ‘Best Selling Middle Eastern Artist’, a feat that she had repeated in both 2006 and 2010.
  • In August 2018, she had released the music video for a single titled Ila Kol Elli Bihebbouni. At the end of the video, she had shared a message revealing that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2017 and that she had recovered completely after treatment. The music video had gone viral and had garnered more than 9 million views within a week of its release. Her message that had raised awareness about the disease was widely applauded across the middle east.
  • In August 2019, she had announced that she would be retiring from her illustrious singing career after the release of her upcoming studio album Sahbit Raey (2020), the 12th of her career. She had stated that the reason behind her decision was that she was tired of the high-handedness of the music industry and that the executives used to behave like the mafia.
