Page "Angham" Paragraph 3

Despite her busy schedule at the studio with her father, Angham had little personal contact with him, and felt closer to her mother who worked hard in keeping the family together, especially since she considered her father a ruthless man and hard to deal with.

Spending much of her time at home alone, Angham turned to music as an outlet.

She began singing at around the age of sixteen, and her uncle, Emad Abdel Haleem, began teaching her how to present herself to an audience.

Angham performed for the first time in public during Cairo's Radio syndicate ceremony because they were looking for new voices to artistically adopt them.

She sang " elGennah Taht Akdamek " ( Paradise Is Under Your Feet ) as a dedication to the mothers who were present during the concert.

Despite winning the contest, Angham recalls how her father was not pleased with her performance and that his negative attitude was the major force that propelled her in a battle between her talents and her inner self to come up with better songs.

On " Maa Hobby " ( With Love ) talk show in 2005, host Joumana Bou Eid asked Angham how she felt toward her dad after eight years of collaboration in making records.

Angham replied " that she owe him many things and that she is lucky he is her father and an important figure in the music industry at the same time ".

The publicity of Angham's separation from her father whether on a personal or artistic level stabilized Angham's independent entrance into the industry of music.
