Laam is a French singer who performs pop, soul and hip-hop songs. The singer's real name is Lamia. The future artist was born in the capital of France on September 1, 1971. Her astrological sign is Virgo.
Childhood
Lamia cannot boast of a happy and serene childhood. Her parents were poor and could hardly feed their six children. Her dad moved to France from Tunisia, and it was not very easy for him to find a job because he was not a French citizen. Difficulties in the family led to the divorce of the parents. Lamia was sent to live in an orphanage. After moving from the family, the girl saw her mother only twice in her entire life.
The girl loved music from early childhood. She did not receive a musical education, but was a music lover. When Lamia was fifteen years old, her teacher saw talent in the girl, invited her to go singing and join the local ensemble. Lamia began to work hard on herself and achieve her first successes.
Career start and difficulties on the way to success
Lamia left the orphanage and decided to become a singer. For a decade, she unsuccessfully sent recordings of her voice to various labels, but received no response. She had to earn a living singing in the subway and moonlight as a waitress.
There was a hip-hop party in the restaurant where Lamia worked, and the girl expressed a desire to sing at the celebration. After the successful performance of the singer, musicians began to make acquaintance with her, who were fascinated by her vocals. One of the new friends introduced Lamia to the famous Harv Benama, who was the head of the recording studio and was involved in producing artists.
Musical creativity
At Laam studio in 1998 she recorded her first song called "J'ai le feeling". The first single did not become widely known. But already the second song "Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux" became a hit. Over a year and a half, one and a half million copies of the single were sold.
One year later, the singer released her first full-length album, entitled "Perspective". The disc includes thirteen musical compositions. In the same year, Laam went on her first tour of several countries and performed at the Olympia Music Hall in Paris.
After numerous concerts, the singer took a break and started recording new songs. In 2001 her second album "Une vie ne suffit pas" was released. Fans warmly accepted the singer's new disc, copies of the album were successfully sold.
In 2004, the singer again released a disc called "Laam". The singer's third album did not receive the previous high ratings among listeners.
The singer has faced difficulties many times in her life and learned to overcome them. Just a year after the failure, she released another album called "Pour etre libre". This disc returned the love of the audience and high positions in the charts to the singer.
