After the Lebanese war began, she returned to Syria, where she won a talent show and joined the Syrian Radio and Television Authority in 1978. Known for her romantic, popular, and patriotic songs, she recorded in various Arabic dialects, producing hits across the region. Her career spanned Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt, collaborating with legendary composers like Sayed Makkawi, Mahmoud Al-Sharif, Farouk Salama, and Baligh Hamdi.
