Since 2016 and still today Hiba has been incarnating «Esmeralda» in the French cult Musical play Notre Dame de Paris. Hiba was given a standing ovation by the jury and throughout the season she was highly praised by the public and media alike considered as one of the most iconic performers ever on the show. In the blind auditions, the 4 members of the jury turned around mesmerized by her Franco-Lebanese performance of the Michel Le Grand classic “The Windmills of my Mind” “La bidayi wala nihayi” (adapted by Mansour & Oussama Rahbani). The success of these albums were followed with tours throughout the Arab World, accompanied by Symphonic Orchestras and performed on some of the most prestigious stages with well-crafted and occasionally engaged accompanying videos, some directed by Hiba herself.Įager for new experiences, Hiba took on an enormous gamble by participating in the 4th season of The Voice in France to meet and engage with the French & European public. Hiba released 3 studio albums in Arabic, produced by Oussama Rahbani: “La Bidayi wala Nihayi” (2011), “Ya Habibi” (2014), "Hiba Tawaji 30" (2017), and a Christmas Album in Arabic & English “Hallelujah” (2017), each album a resounding commercial success and acclaimed by the critics. The Rahbani family, pioneers of “Musicals” in the Middle East for the last 60 years, entrusted Hiba with the leading role in their last 4 musicals, “The Return of the Phoenix” “Sayf 840” “Don Quixote” “Moulouk Al Tawaef”. They have since collaborated on multiple projects, and the ensuing success in the Middle east propelled her to fame and star status. She was noticed early on by one of the most influential producers and composers in the Middle East, Oussama Rahbani who took her under his wing and became her producer. In 2012 she obtained her bachelor degree in performing arts (Acting & Directing) from Saint joseph University in Beirut, and attended musical theatre & acting workshops at New York Film Academy & Stella Adler Studio of acting in New York. Just as comfortable in French & English as in Arabic and passionate about music and the arts since a young age, she has taken singing and music lessons since her childhood. Since 2008, Hiba Tawaji, singer, actress & director has firmly established herself in Lebanon and the Arab world as a major artist recognized for her amazing career.
