Haifa Wehbe is a Lebanese musician that took the Arab world by storm after the release of her first album Howa el-zaman (He is Time).
Born on March 10, 1970, Haifa grew up in the capital Beirut listening to jazz and R&B. She became a model at a very young age and won the title "Miss South Lebanon" at sixteen. She participated in the Miss Lebanon contest. Her title, second-runner up, was revoked, as she was married and had a daughter, Zaza. Haifa then released Howa el-Zaman. Her second album "Badi I'ich" ("I wanna Live")is living up to the expectations as well.
