Najwa Karam (Arabic: نجوى كرم‎; born 26 February 1966, in Zahle, Lebanon) is a Lebanese singer. Her singing career began in the late 1980s with moderate success, but her major successes began in the mid-1990s.

Najwa Karam is one of the most successful Arab singers—participating in numerous festivals and concerts around the globe, and has received a number of awards from various distinguished bodies.[1] She is also Rotana's highest-paid artist.

Najwa Karam Karam was born in Zahle, Lebanon, to Karam Karam and Barbara Chahine Karam, a family of Lebanese Maronites. She is the youngest of five children, having an older sister, Salwa, and three older brothers, Tony, Jean, and Nicolas. She spent her childhood in Zahle, in the care of her parents and older brothers. From an early age, Najwa was known among her friends and relatives for her powerful singing voice, but her parents emphasized the need for an education and a stable career over entertaining.

Karam attended secondary school at Jesus the Angel College, and then worked as a teacher for two years at Eastern College, Zahle.

In 1985, Karam decided to pursue a singing career by participating in the television singing contest Layali Lubnan (Lebanese Nights), although against her father's wishes. Interpreting popular varieties of the traditional Lebanese Mawal in her powerful voice, Najwa walked away with the Gold Medal, public exposure, and her father's approval.

Following this win, Karam studied at the Lebanese Institute of Music for four years to improve her knowledge of music and the music industry in general. She was under the direction of renowned Lebanese composers Zaki Nassif and Fouad Awad. In 1987, Najwa participated in another television program named Laylat Haz, where she was warmly accepted by the audience. By 1989, Najwa had gained the knowledge and experience she needed to make her first attempt at breaking into the Arabic music industry.

"The Sun of Song"

In 1989, Karam's first studio album, Ya Habayeb, was released by a then-little-known record label, Relax-in International. The album contained seven tracks, all in the traditional Lebanese traditional/folkloric style. Due to her previous exposure to the Lebanese public, the album was well-received in Lebanon but did not receive much attention from the rest of the Arab world.

After a three year hiatus from music making, Karam returned to the scene with her follow up album, Shams el-Ghinnieh. The album title was inspired by her nickname, Shams el-Ghinnieh (The sun of song), which was given to her by the Lebanese people and media because of her vocal abilities. The album was recorded by another small record company CM. The style of the album was more romantic and contemporary, in comparison to Najwa's debut, Ya Habayeb, which was more traditional. Shams el-Ghinnieh was received very well by the Lebanese public.
[edit] Ana Ma'akon

The next year, 1993, Karam signed on with another record label for her new album. This time it was an even less known Saudi Arn company. The new album was called Ana Ma'akon (I am with you). The album was classic in style and quite different from Shams el-Ghinnieh, not really reflecting Najwa's artistic identity. Despite her personal miscontent, she had no choice but release it, bound by a contract with her production company. As expected, the album failed to do as well as Shams el-Ghinnieh. Poor marketing and lack of resources did not help much either and were blamed for the low sales of the album. It remains Karam's least-known album, although many of her fans consider it the best in terms of showing Najwa's abilities and voice-power. With the failure of Ana Ma'akon, she sought a bigger and more secure record label for her next album.
