أمل حجازي
Supermodel turned popstar:
Amal Hijazi was born on February 20th 1977 in Lebanon. Amal Started her career as a Fashion Model, she has stunned the Arab world with her ravishing looks and angelic voice. Her family and friends discovered her talent quite early and producers were easily convinced of her future success.
It came as no surprise to her family, friends, producers, managers and fans that she will become an immediate star, and so she did. Her first single entitled (Halan)(Right Away) in 2000 was followed by another single (Rayeh Balak) (Put your mind at ease) in 2001 coupled with her first music video for (Rayeh Balak)
Later that same year Amal Hijazi burst onto the music scene on May 2001 with her debut album Akher Gharam, produced by Dilara Master Production and distributed by Music Master, which included her hit single Rayeh Balak and wowed audiences and critics alike, with her powerful stage presence and vocal abilities.
She conquered the Arab World and secured her place on the charts when her album held the Number 8 position on the Official Sales charts published by the Chart Magazine, an achievement not earned by any debut album. That same album proved to be a great success scoring 4 Hit Singles for Amals stunning debut career.
All four Hit Singles Akher Gharam (Last Love), Ghanneit (I Sang),& Rayeh Balak(Put Your Mind at Ease) were all produced on Music Video and kept Amal on the Top Twenty Charts for 6 months.
Amal''s first single was called "Halan" ("Right Away") in 2000, it was followed by her second single "Rayyah Balak" ("Put Your Mind at Ease") one year later, for which she also shot a music video. On the same year her debut album "Akher Gharam" including the hit single "Rayyah Balak" was produced by Dilara Master Production and distributed by Music Master. The critics were thrilled and her first step on the way to becoming a super-star was a hit.
The debut album ranked eighth on the official sales charts, the album included numerous hits singles like "Akher Gharam" ("Last Love"), "Ghanneit" ("I Sang") and "Rayyah Balak" ("Put Your Mind at Ease"), which were kept Amal on the Top Twenty Charts for six months.
Yet her first steps in live performances were rather influenced by stage fright, even though her modeling experience gave her the ability to capture the audience. But soon she overcame her fears and on she went with her live performances.
Not much later, in July 2001, Amal performed as the opening artist for Ra star Faudel at La Marina in Lebanon, which was her first time in Beirut after her concerts in Dubai.
A short while ago Amal signed a contract, which should bring her into a new light and increase her popularity all over the Arab world.
Amal''s new album called "Einak" ("Your Eyes") is again produced by Dilara Master Production and includes as the title song a great duet with the Ra star Faudel, of which the music video was broadcasted all over the Arab Satellite Channels. Hijazi''s massive hits include ''Zaman'', and ''Romancia''.
Now, at the most critical stage in her career, Amal Hijazi signed a Management contract with Music Is My Life! s.a.r.l. who are shedding a new light on Amal, opening yet greater horizons for her and paving sure and secure roads to upcoming success.
In July 2002 and entitled Einak, produced by Dilara Master Production & Distributed by Music Master International will seal Amals success on the pages of music history taking her into yet another adventure performing a Rai Duet with Faudel entitled Einak (Your Eye) and was produced on Music Video for broadcast across Arab Satellite Channels.
Amals talents aside for a moment, this conservatively raised talent has not always been a very sure and strong presence on stage. Even after her modeling years where she learned to capture an audience with a haunting walk and a charming regard, Amal began with definite stage fright which led to comical performances where she would sing different songs than those played by the band.
Her fears now behind her and armed with a sure and capturing presence, Amal got chosen as the opening artist for Faudel during his concert at La Marina in Lebanon on July 2001, where she caught the eyes of fans for the first time on stage in Beirut, after she performed for the launch of her album on stage at Dubai Marine in the UAE.
Its not just one sound that carries you through Amals new album says Music Is My Life General Manager, Ghassan Chartouni, but a multitude of fusion and diversity of Arabic dialects which makes it much appealing album.
The career of Amal Hijazi is surely not over yet. With her passionate voice and her unique appearance she may possibly climb the ladder till the very top.
