Dubbed the “Queen of Emotions,” Elissa built a career on the kind of aching, romantic balladry that made her one of Lebanese pop's most enduring stars.
Elissar Zakaria Khoury broke through on the Lebanese talent competition Studio El Fan before signing with EMI Music Arabia and releasing her 1998 debut album.
Her sound, built around emotionally direct, string-laden balladry, earned her the nickname “Queen of Emotions” and a fan base that has followed her across more than two decades of releases. She remains one of the most commercially significant solo artists to come out of Lebanon's pop scene.
