Career beginnings

Sandy began her solo singing career in 2006 with the release of "كل ما أقرب" ("Whatever is closer"). In 2009, she released the song "شوفته وماكلمنيش," which increased her popularity. It was written and composed by Mohammed Rifai Husam Badran and released with the album titled سولو هيتس 1 (Solo Hits 1).

She released a second album, لسة صغيرة ("Still Young"), and then a third, قد التحدي.

Revolution in Egypt, 2011

After the Egyptian revolution on January 25, 2011, Hussein presented the first national song for Egypt entitled "ولاد النيل" (the sons of the Nile). She later went on to film the videoclip in Paris for "الحلم" (The Dream) from the album قد التحدي (The Challenge) with the British director Eric Carlson, and she released the video for "عايزة اقولك" (I want to tell you).

The singer announced her retirement on social media with respect to her personal life and health reasons after releasing her fifth album, Hob (Love), in 2015.[1] However, two years later, in December 2017, the singer became active again with another song entitled "Maghnatis" (Magnetic) under Glitch Records in collaboration with Pause Production, announcing them as her new music label.[2] Finally, the performer released her sixth album, Ĕtnin fi wahda, in January 2020. The album, in which she collaborated with new producers and poets such as Mido Munib, also contains a song produced and written by Hussein herself.[3] Hussein also plays a character in two movies: Jimm's Plan (2014)[4] and Live Your Life (2019).[5]
