Lebanese Pop Singer Madeleine Matar

Madeleine Matar also know as Madeleine Michel Matar  is a most famous and beautiful Lebanese pop singer. She was born on the 12th of March 1972. She started her career as a crowd warmer for the highly praised singer Wadih El Safi. The latter presented her to the public while on stage at a concert in London. She then took part in the TV talent show Kaas El Nojoum on LBC, where she was awarded the Kaas El Jomhour (Public Award) in 1998.

For four years, Madeleine Matar studied oriental singing at the music conservatory. After refining her voice and mastering the necessary skills to deliver good interpretations, Madeleine was lucky enough to collaborate with the talented Marwan Khoury, who gave her some of her best hits to date. His songs gave Madeleine a unique flavor that was much needed in the crowded industry.

Pretty soon she was giving concerts all over the globe including Paris, London, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and of course her native Lebanon.

In the year 2001 Madeleine singed a contract with music giant Rotana, which produced her debut album entitled Raydah (I want him). Rotana produced for her 3 video clips, La Jamal El Shokr, Aashka ya Lil and Rayadah, all of which were directed by Said El Marouk.

In the year 2003 Madeleine Matar released her second album entitled Ala Bali Hawak. If by any chance her first album didn”t make it to a few remote places of the Arab world, no one could longer ignore the presence of Madeleine thanks to the album title song. Ala bali Hawak, a soft electronic ballad, topped all the charts and was run in loop on most ipods. Ala Bali Hawak is to Madeleine what Ayshalak is to Elissa; a fetish song! The video for the song was shot in Marbella Spain, also under the direction of Said El Marouk.
