Emirati singer Aryam is playing it by ear

She was born Reem Shaban Ibrahim Hassan, but for 20 years now, the UAE has known her as Aryam.

The 35-year-old Emirati singer – who was born in Sharjah, grew up in Dubai, and studied media and communication in Ajman – began her musical career at the age of 15 and has performed in every corner of the country.

She hasn’t looked back since. Aryam first appeared on TV in 1995, as the youngest contestant on the talent show Ya Hala Beldaif.

She caught the attention of legendary TV producer Simon Asmar from Lebanon, whose televised talent competitions were responsible for launching the careers of the likes of Majida El Roumi, Walid Toufic, Ragheb Alama, Nancy Ajram and Elissa.
