Ingrid Naccour’s voice cut through on a Beirut school stage, an image of her future telling global crowds. She now glows internationally, driven by never-ending learning, big wins, and a gift for overcoming challenges. Opera stages, festivals, elite events—her story is one of talent and tenacity, a performer who governs every moment she gets.
The Building Blocks: Formal Training
Ingrid’s first training ground was the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music, where she studied opera. Her sessions focused on breath control and vocal projection. She gained a strong technical foundation across styles.
She completed a Vocal Styles Specialist certificate in Boston from Berklee College of Music. Her academic track expanded through courses in music composition and sound arrangement. At SAE Institute, she pursued electronic music structure. She has a layered approach to song development and moves fluidly between genres.
Turning Point: Hard Rock Café Triumph
Ingrid’s career moved fast after a competition at the Hard Rock Café in Beirut. She entered, sang, and walked away with the “Ambassador of Rock” title. The award offered far more than a trophy, and accordingly, she signed her first professional contract and flew to London. There, she attended concerts by artists such as Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, and Paul McCartney.
That moment reset her path. In a single week, she saw both validation and vision. The room she had once filled at school was now global in scale.
Honors and Appearances
Ingrid received the UAE Golden Visa—a designation granted to public figures contributing to the country’s cultural development.
Her voice has powered shows for Cartier during Expo Dubai, Richard Mille events in Saudi Arabia, and exhibitions organized under Her Highness Sheikha Khawla Bint Ahmed. She has performed for packed crowds at the Beirut Festival, Jazz Festival, and MOTB Abu Dhabi. She was also featured in “Beirut Sea Lover,” the first 3D-mapping concert in Lebanon.
Recording and Media Presence
In 2021, Ingrid launched her debut single, “Can You Feel the Beat,” built on a rhythmic funk disco house track with electronic production. She later recorded for the soundtrack of “Green Is Red,” a short film selected at Cannes. She also contributed vocals for “Khabsa,” a Lebanese film featured on Netflix.
Her commercial work includes campaigns for the Mall of the Emirates. Her tour calendar stretches from the Maldives to Turkey, from Egypt to Armenia. In Dubai, TODA invited her to appear in its “Women’s Voices in the Middle East” series.
Roadblocks Met Head-On
Cultural differences once created a gap between her vocal style and the dominant musical tastes of Lebanon’s public stages. On top of that, she endured years marked by political unrest, inflation, and a port explosion that damaged key creative institutions.
Still, she moved forward. Her determination kept her mobile. When studios closed, she shifted countries. When the stages emptied, she recalibrated her sound. Resilience never served as decoration—it became Ingrid’s default setting.
Future Projects and Personal Ethos
Ingrid recently completed a masterclass in songwriting, for both structure and phrasing. Her subsequent releases promise a wider reach. She is balancing Mediterranean scales with modern composition. Her work targets a clear goal: never to be static.
She gives new artists a clear message: “Be kind to yourself. Move without hesitation.” She believes in structure, patience, and repetition. Her climb owes more to routine than glamour. Those who endure do so by staying agile, sharp, and disciplined.
