Asia's beginning to know Egyptian art

Since childhood, Asia has been influenced by the works of great Egyptian singers such as Mohamed Abdel Wahab and Abdel Halim Hafez, and she has re-presented some of Sayed Darwish's songs in her own voice. At the beginning of the millennium, Asia Madani moved to live in Egypt. Her first start was on the stage of the Egyptian Opera House. She founded her own musical band and had an experience in composing and writing alongside singing.
