Who is Carmen Soliman?
Born on October 7, 1994, in Zagazig, Egypt, Carmen’s passion for singing and musical talent particularly ran in the family.
Sharing her mother’s penchant for singing, she urged Carmen to pursue singing as a career and enter the realm of TV programs.
However, before rising to stardom, she initially thought singing competitions were not a serious game. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, she said, “People tend to reward overwhelming emotion expressed as a dramatic performance.”
Despite that, she pushed her barriers and found her love for the stage. She soon debuted as a singer in 2012, becoming the first contestant to win the first season of Arab Idol. Later, she launched her debut album in 2013.
She is quite famous for her releases, such as “Kalam Kalam”, which topped the Arab charts in 2013, and “Akhbari” and “Azama Ala Azama”.
