In an interview with Arabstoday, Nagham talks about her career, hopes and personal life...
Arabstoday:  Some people have commented that you look similar to the TV Presenter Mona Abu Hamza?
Yes, many people say that, others say I look like the French actress Brigitte Bardot... I\'m happy about this, they are comparing me to really stunning women!!
Arabstoday: Some new female singers depend on their looks to achieve quick fame, what is your opinion about that?
I\'m not totally against, but also I don\'t totally agree. It is good for a female singer to be attractive, but going too far is not preferable.
Arabstoday: There are so many female singers emerging every year in the Arab region. What do you think makes you stand out?
What makes me stand out is that I have gained people\'s affection, and I promise I will make songs that are worthy of this.
Arabstoday: How did you meet your manager Shady Ayash?
I met with him just by chance, then we had a meeting in his office where he listened to my voice and signed me. Shady has a good reputation as a manager and that is what encouraged me to work with him.
Arabstoday: And how are things going between you?
Everything is great!
Arabstoday: Is the fact that Shady is brother to  the acclaimed singer Ramy Ayash, one of the reasons you might produce a duet with him?
Yes indeed, there is nothing in the pipeline between us at the moment, but I hope this will happen soon.
Arabstoday: Or perhaps you prefer to perform a duet with someone else?
No, Ramy would be my favourite partner to sing a duet with. I just love his voice and hope I can work with him.
Arabstoday: You chose to look innocent and kid-like in your first video clip, will you keep this style?
Actually it was not planned, it was just me. I like the way I looked in my first video, perhaps my face has an innocent quality with a little maturity.
Arabstoday: Some children have participated in this video clip. Do you plan to release some songs for children?
Of course, I would be happy to do this.
Arabstoday: Would you consider work as an actress or presenting TV shows?
No, at least not in the near future, as I want to be dedicated in my career as a singer, but if an important project that can deeply touch the viewers is offered to mem I think I would accept it on an exceptional basis.
Arabstoday: How do you assess the singing field now?
There is a lot of great talent that totally deserve stardom, but there are also others whom I prefer not to mention and let the audience assess.
Arabstoday: What is your opinion about plastic surgery for female artists?
I\'m not against it. If anybody suffers some imperfections, why wouldn\'t he or she rectify them?
Arabstoday: Have you done anything?
I know many will not believe this but I have not!
Arabstoday: Perhaps you may do in the future?
Yes it is possible, everybody ages, and there is nothing wrong to keep up a good appearance.
Arabstoday: What about your personal life?
I\'m single now, but I\'m romantic by instinct. Now I\'m dedicated to my work, as I believe that love comes without plans.
Arabstoday: Who is your model singer?
I love too many singers, but I will pick Zekra as a model.
Arabstoday: How do you keep in touch with your fans?
I\'m yet to do that, but soon I will have Twitter, Facebook and Youtube accounts.Arabstoday: You began your career with a single song rather than an album, did this work to your favour?
I\'m still in the first stages as a professional singer, so I have to be cautious, but it is better for me to make a single successful song rather than an unsuccessful album.
Arabstoday: What about your future projects?
I\'m searching for a Lebanese song as my first song was in the Egyptian dialect and I hope to sing in a Gulf dialect in the future too.
