The iconic singer was born on December 13, 1956, in Kfarshima village, Lebanon. She is the daughter of the Lebanese musician Halim El Roumi.
The soprano participated in the talent show 'Studio El Fan in 1974' after she sneaked out of the house with her brother and cousins, where she won the gold medal for oriental singing. Her success prompted her father to change his mind and give her his blessings to pursue a music career as long as she continues her higher education.
In 1975, El Roumi released her first single 'Am Behlamak' and her first studio album 'Wadaa' in 1976.
She made her acting debut in the Egyptian renowned director Youssef Chahine's film 'Awdat Al Ibn Al Dal' (The Return of the Prodigal Son).
In 2001, the soprano was appointed an ambassador for the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and named in 2013 an ambassador of the 'Alam Sagheer' (Small World) program, along with Titanic actor and producer Billy Zane, dedicated to education without borders.
In 2014, El Roumi made history as the first Middle East Humanitarian Ambassador of Bulgari.

Lege-Cy Surprise Drops Slow-Burner ‘ERMINI'
Produced and penned all by him, the track is a continuation of a sound he explored on his hit with Ismail Nosrat, 'Law Nasyany'. Aug 05, 2025 Egyptian rapper and singer Lege-Cy has just released a new single, 'Ermini', a continuation of the sound he explored on his hit with Ismail Nosrat. 'Law Nasyany'. Produced and written by Lege-Cy himself, the track navigates themes of heartbreak, disillusionment and emotional loss. While his signature string-driven production is still present, Lege-Cy adopts a more minimalistic and mellow approach that complements his introspective lyricism and melodic delivery. The track ends with a female vocal sample in the outro singing back the hook, 'Lw msh fare' maaky ermini'. Although it's been a minute since Lege-Cy tapped into his rap purist roots, he seems to have cracked the code to the stripped-down pop sound he's been exploring since 'El Neyya', and he's doing it in a way only he can.
