The girl next door


Lebanese songstress Myriam Fares is undaunted by fame and believes youngsters should always pursue their dreams

“WE SHOULD ALL follow our own paths,” she said, her voice shaking with emotion.

“Most of us try to follow in the footsteps of others - whether they are siblings, parents, or friends - but we never ask ourselves what we want.”

With her big, red curly hair - a refreshing change from the assembly line of typical Lebanese pop stars – Myriam Fares believes that talent and passion are essential for young Arab youth in any facet they choose to follow.

The quintessential ‘girl next door’, she ignited the music world to become a true force in the industry, and is easily one of the most-liked artists to appear in years.

“There is no difference between my stardom and normalcy, because we are one. I am still a down-to-earth girl and fame has not changed me. I don’t walk around with arrogance because I know where I come from and who I am,” she said.

Having recently joined a unique campaign with Sunsilk, Fares is promoting its ‘Life Can’t Wait’ theme, which encourages young girls to chase after what they really want.

“This is bigger than just an advertisement because it speaks directly to young women. It is promoting a positive influence that encourages them to fulfil their dreams and expectations,” she said.

Featured alongside iconic superstars such as Madonna and Shakira, girls are encouraged to write in their own personal inspiring stories to www.lifecantwait.com to win a day spent with Fares.
