This track was the retake of the famous Abdel Kader for Algerian Singer Cheb Khaled. Malikah describes her “2 personalities” when it comes to music. “Malikah is the rough, serious, hardcore, Arabic woman who raps about politics, religion, and social issues; and MC Lix is my alter-ego, the feminine, sexy lady who is more commercial and talks about love, friendship and so on,” she added.Malikah first hit the Lebanese hip hop scene in 2003 when she performed in front of a number of Lebanese Male rappers at the “Peak Hall,” Lebanon. “Back then, I had to cover my face because my parents were against me rapping,” she said. She secretly continued doing her thing until she was asked to perform on Lebanon’s Future Television show “Zaven” in 2003. “This is where I had to face my parents. Eventually we spoke and made a deal that they would let me do my music as long as I keep up with school,” she explained. Three years later Malikah started MC’ing.

Born in Beirut, the future "Janine D" grew up in the world of Art-Movie and Arabic Music. She was only six years old when her two parents Mounir (Egyptian) and Gladys (Lebanese) used to manage and own in Cairo. The hotel who became with time the most famous “Point de Rendez-Vous” for all singers and actors from the Arab world but also from Europe and even America. In the family’s Hotel, the future star yet still a young girl met and sang with many music stars or movie makers like Julio Eglesias, Dalida, Omar Sharif, Walid Toufic, Ragheb Alemeh, Hussein and Moudy El Imam, Adel Imam, and many, many more... This was also the place where many young Arabic artists, producers, yet unknown from the public, made their first steps and started their career. From Cairo, the whole family moved to New-York, the most fascinating cosmopolitan city in the world, Mecca of music, art and fashion, a city bubbling with life and ideas. Moreover, New-York is the city of the largest musical diversity where music of all kinds converges, where artists coming from all over the world rush to accomplish their secret dream and to one day become a star.She was gifted by nature with a voice-of-a-kind, one extremely warm and full of Mediterranean character, obviously enough powerful to one day integrate and mix in total harmony different sounds, different musical languages. To gain such feature, the future artist has worked hard perfecting her singing technique in the prestigious Herbert Berghof Conservatory where she studied art & musical theater and from which she finally graduated. Yet, our future star remained authentically oriental and though couldn’t limit herself just to her exceptional voice and singing technique so she worked even harder on dancing and acting enabling her body to absorb all types of rhythms and to exhale strength and sensuality.Living in city like New York, the future star evolved and has progressively absorbed many types of music. She became familiar with styles of dozens of most talented musicians and art professors who cultured her to blend her signature sound by composing her own music and her own lyrics and also to confront crowds during number of live-concerts she performed in New-York and in many other US or western-European cities, revealing an incredible power and talent to communicate with crowds or audiences. Last but not least, our future star understood better all the different aspects of the music industry of both art-creation and production: lyrics, music, mix, arrangement, mastering, photos, clips, marketing and brand-recognition, live-concert features, choreography….In total, the future star has spent 12 years of her life in New-York and this is where she became "Janine D". In 2003, "Janine D" decided that time has came for her to “move back to the East” and to present herself to the Arabic public as an authentic Egyptian-Lebanese artist. “When focusing on the craft of performing and songwriting, I always wanted my voice to shine through…But to me, relevance means above all staying honest about what you are…The most important thing for me as an Artist is maintaining my authenticity”.(Janine D).With that thoughts in her mind, "Janine D" decided to carry a genuine but challenging approach for presenting her oriental music, where sensuality goes with self-confidence and professionalism and where female artists would not be anymore presented to the public through bunch of “clichés” but where they would be giving a new image, as an acceptable synthesis between the necessary requirement of a modern life and their old traditional yet authentic values.http://fi-fi.facebook.com/pages/Janine-D/52203124848
