Angham comes from a family in which the word "music" is not strange to their imagination. In fact, she has been raised and musically nurtured on her father's hand, reknowed Mohammad Suleiman. Her uncle, Imad Abdel Haleem, is a singer and married to the famous belly-dancer, Najwa Fouad, but unfortunately, died at the age of thirty. Angham, affected by the death of her uncle whom she loved so much, released later an expressive and angry song called Leih Ya Donia Hazzi Ma'aki Kida?.
Angham has two siblings: her sister, Ghinwah, and her brother, Khaled. Her first contact with the audience was with her Mother Day song El Gannah Taht Akdamik in which she sang it among the public at the age of 17. She recalls the mothers who wiped their tears, moved by her performance.
Angham's sucess started with her first album Fil Rokn El Baeed elHadi. The success that it gained pushed the young singer into a further position among the 1989 generation of singers, reserving for herself a special position. Angham lived a state of relief and proud and soon continued to improve her vocal capacities with her father. She also studied in the Conservatory of Music in Cario and excelled in playing the Oud. Egyptian people recall Angham as a little cute girl with big teeth and had faith that this star will soon shine and expand its light around the arabic world.
Angham continued working on her following albums, concentrating on the classism melodies caracterised by the poetic words and the oriental flavour. She released many albums in full Egyptian dilact but also in the Gulf. Albums like "Khally Bokra La Bokra", "Betheb Meen" and "Ella Ana" gained many success in Egypt.
Gulf people adopted Angham as their favourite singer because of her excellency in speaking the Gulf dilact and her feelings. During those brillant years, Egypt nicknamed Angham as the Queen of Romance and Egypt's Number One Voice. Among the immortal and tradition singers who praised Angham's voice was Shadia, Fayrouz, Najat and Prominant Egyptian singer Warda. But during those years, Angham faced a depression affecting her personally and artistically: after successful albums, Angham refused to work with her father in her next albums in the goal of renewing her style. Her dad, surprised by the act of his daughter, disowned her and promised not to do any future artistic collaboration with her. At this time, the arabic music changed form with the apparition of the western influence with pop superstar Amro Diab, Mohammad Munir and Midhat Saleh. Angham was forced to take the previous descision in order to evolve her voice and keep updated with the new music but in her own special way.
In 1999, Angham created a new album Wahdaniya in which she worked with new composers and writers. In her album, she presented a new flavour of music that represent her only. While keeping the peotic lyrics, Angham changed the oriental music into a more rapid one, minimizing the long tunes. While the world of clips started to show intensively, Angham was forced to shoot Ba'atly Nazra from this album in which she appeared in a classic look, probably scared from any sudden reaction from her fans. The clip appeared simple, showing Angham in a summer flavour, beside the beach and the sand.
She appeared with a new look in which many people thought ressembled to Leila Murad's. Cinematic directors presented a lot of scenario for Angham to let her reproduce the life of the Diva Layla Murad, who used to be Egypt's most powerful feminine voice after the legendary Um Koulthoum, but Angham refused them all, saying she can't do that, knowing Layla Murad's popularity and reputation in Egypt. After that, Angham shot another music video for her song Bithebbaha Walla which many of her fans consider it as a message this day: in that clip, Angham appeared at the same time in two new looks: an old classic one and a new young one, meaning a transformation in her career or maybe a creation of a new wave of fans?
During Wahdaniya album, Angham's life with her husband distabilized. After she disappeared from the music scenes for two years, Angham finally got divorced from her husband, Magdy Aref, who used to be her manager and director of her previous clips like Betheb Meen. The divorce came after personal rupture of ideas and not being able to cope together. Angham found herself obliged to take care of their child, Omar, and thus, slowed down the rate in which she used to produce albums. But this difficult time in which Angham passed through faded quickly as a new unattended surprise awaited her. In 2001, Angham released her favourite album, Leih Sebtaha, which is considered to be one of the best album that the Arabic world ever witnessed and was on the number 1 in the Billboard for many months.
The secret of its success was one special song: Sidi Wisalak. This song appeared to be an unique one because it is very new in term of melody and vocals. Angham used the chance to shoot this song as a clip with the new director, Ahmad elMahdy, who presented her with a new look and a new drama scenario. The idea of the music video rotates around Angham who fell in love with a man she always meet in the train station. She demonstrate her profound love by stealing his shirt button which fell down from the man. In the end of the clip, the man (Ayman Kaysouni : model and TV presenter) returns back to Angham, discovering her love and confession to him over the radio. People were amazed from the transformation that Angham did to her look after she fixed her teeth and her eyebrows while hiring a Lebanese stylist to take care of her appearance. The clip is still aired intensively nowadays and its success reached the media everywhere and was the talk of Egypt.
She received two big awards: best clip 2001 and best female singer 2001 in Cairo's Annual Music ceremony. The success she gained caused lots of singers to be jealous. Few weeks after the broadcasting of Sidi Wisalak's clip, Angham fell ill and was hospitalised due to the jealousy that many singers, mainly female ones, developped toward the singer. In 2000, Angham participated also in Intifadain the most famous duet, Nihlam Eih?, with the deceased Zikra.Soon, Alam Elphan, Angham's new production company, offered the singer another chance to continue proving her stardom and this time, with a new and completely western album, Omry Maak
Omry Maak, produced and supervised by Alam Elphan, was finally released in August 2003. With this album, Angham returns to present a new flavour, similar to Amro Diab, in which most of her songs had western flavour in them.
Angham shot Omry Maak as a music video with the same director, Ahmad elMahdy, during six consecutive days. The clip turned out to be magical, demonstrating Angham's "motherly" talent as she is seen with a boy in which many thought was her own son.
Angham wanted to shoot Arefha Biya as her second clip but Alam Elphan refused as shooting a second song was not figured in their contract with the singer, resulting finally in burning the deal and in the seperation of the company from the singer.
Before the release of Omry Maak album, the press attacked Angham for marrying secretly her Kuweit-origined musical arrangist, Fahed. Angham responded strictly to the matter by annoucing officially her marriage from him after she joined another music production company, Rotana, possessed by Prince Walid Bin Talal. The mariage was done on a yatch on the Nile River and Angham invited many famous pop singers such as Sherine Abdel Wahab, World Music Best Selling Lebanese artist Elissa, Ehab Toufic, and the manager of Rotana Company, Salem Elhindy.
Angham supported her album by doing many interviews mainly Nawart El dar in which her fans consider as the one where she shined a lot. In that program, Angham sang Warda's songs to honour her and in return got praised by her powerful but soft voice. Also, Angham was guest in many famous talk-show and programs like Star Academy 1,El Beit Beitak, Moubashar with Mahmoud Sa'd, kalam nawa3em , Star Search and others.
