Mini bio
How it started.
Elissa began on the stage of Wassim Tabbara’s theatre and won silver on Lebanon’s Studio El Fan in 1992. Her debut album, Baddy Doub, followed in 1998, introducing the romantic voice that became her calling card.
The breakthrough.
A duet with Ragheb Alama helped her second album reach listeners. In a 2020 interview, she named Ayshalak, released in 2002, as the album that turned her into a star. She later coached on X Factor and The Voice.
Her own direction.
She now produces through E-Records. Elissar, her 14th album, arrived in November 2026 with 14 tracks and a new Believe Artist Services partnership. Its title uses her birth name, bringing the person behind the stage name into the music.
