3Diana Haddad (born 1 October 1976) is a Lebanese recording artist who rose to fame as soon as she released her first album in 1996, titled ساكن (Saken). Her next albums helped her rise to fame across the Arab World.
4
5Born to a Christian father and a Muslim mother, she was the third of five children. She moved with her family to Kuwait from Lebanon to escape the civil war, and then back to Lebanon to flee the Iraq-Kuwait War. She was a tomboy growing up, and had a affinity for chocolate, which caused her grandfather to hide it from her growing up. Her father was against her pursuing a music career, and she often snuck out to singing contests.
6
7She got married at the age of 19, which was followed by controversy and rumours of the marriage being a marriage of convenience, and in 1999, after her mother had died, Diana studied and converted to Islam, and since then, there have been rumours on her changing her religion once more, all of which Diana denied.
8
9She gave birth to two daughters, born in 1996, and in 2007. She and her husband divorced in 2009, after 14 years of marriage. She has stated that she does not regret the marriage, but would not allow her daughters to be married at an early age.
10
11After several delays, caused by her divorce, almost being robbed, and the death of her father, Diana released her 2011 album to much success and praise. Her voice is considered one of the most recognisable in the Middle East, and is often described as Traditional, or ''Jabali''. She is also complimented for her modest style that maintains elegance and attractiveness without being sexualised, which was one of the main compliments for her ''Azab El Hawa'' music video.

30!!'''Diana Haddad and her music provide examples of:'''
31* AffairHair: In the ''Aadi'' music video.
32* AgeProgressionSong: An unusual variation, but ''Ya Benti'' is her apologising to her daughter for possible hardships, from not being able to buy toys for her, to being unable to take her out, to being unable to prepare a fancy wedding for her, although it serves as an open letter as opposed to the daughter growing up throughout the song.
33* AmicablyDivorced: She is on good terms with her ex-husband.
34* AncientEgypt: Featured in the ''Yammaia'' music video.
35* AutoTune: At the beginning of ''Elli Fi Bali''.

38* CallAndResponseSong: ''Mass W Loli''.
39* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Played straight in ''Esma'a Kalamhom'', in which she prays for the man who left her, and Subverted in ''Kaid El Nesaa'', which translates to ''The Malice of Women''.

45* MoralityBallad: As well as serving as a ProtestSong, ''Ana Al Ensan'' deals with how immoral humans are, which is what leads to war.
46* NearDeathExperience: Her car was once stopped by armed bandits in Lebanon.
47* NewSoundAlbum: Almost all of her albums significantly evolved her sound. ''Saken'' and ''Ahl Al Esheg'' were a more traditional style of music mixed with pop, ''Ammanih'', ''Yammaia'', and ''Shater'' were more pop oriented, and every album since then changed the sound.
48* ProtestSong: ''Ana Al Ensan'', in 1998, in which she calls for the end of the war in Lebanon. A video for the song was released in 2006, amidst another war; ''Al Haq Yaktubo Min Dami'', for Palestine; and ''Bi Edak El Qarar'', a song against smoking and drugs.
