She came to public attention as a contestant on the second season of Arab Idol and the renowned regional variety show Sawt al-Sahary as well as acting in مواطن قليل الدسم (“Low-Fat Citizen”), a play directed by actress Shatha Sabt.

In late 2015, her single “سمّوا عليه” (“There’s a Word for It”) became a massive hit in the Gulf, featuring a video that scored over 25 million views on YouTube. “ نعمة الله ” (“God’s Blessing”), a duet with Iraqi singer-songwriter Abdullah al-Hameem, was a similarly successful follow-up with over 20 million views.
