Artistic genesis

 

Her father's friend the Syrian artist Ilias Moa'dab discovered Fayrouze's talent during a visit to her home when he was playing on the violin and she was dancing on the music. Her talent drew his attention and he tried to develop it; so he wrote and composed a monologue for her.

 

He accompanied her in his concerts to perform her monologue, and one time, she impressed the audience and her monologue splendidly succeeded. Moa'dab decided to join her in a talent competition at Auberge Night Club and she also splendidly succeeded and attracted the film producers. Egyptian artist Anwar Wagdy chose her to sign a monopoly contract with her father which involves that his daughter earns a thousand pounds for every film she acts.
