L’Oreal’s Garnier Color Naturals has renewed its contract for a third year with Lebanese singer Maya Nasri. This year’s contract includes a television commercial, in addition to published advertisements.
Maya is residing in Cairo where she has begun work on her upcoming album, holding extensive work sessions with a number of Egyptian composers.
Maya has also signed a contract with Production Company ‘Rotana’ to star in two upcoming Egyptian films, although the first film has been postponed for a short time until the director Ahmad Midhat finishes his current project.
Maya took acting lessons in Egypt from renowned academics, such as director Dr. Mohammad Abdul Hadi and Dr. Khalifa, to prepare her for her first role.
Maya has been denoted the title ‘best loved Arab singer’ in Israel, according to a poll conducted by Israeli television regarding viewer’s interest in Arab singers.
After the news reached Maya, she stated, if the rumor is true, it is not her fault if Israelis or anyone for that matter, likes her music. People are free to form their personal opinions about singers regardless of their nationality, she added.
Maya recently met with Ahmad Naqour to discuss plans to film a third music video for one of the songs from her recent album.
