She interpreted Cosette in the Musical « Les Misérables » and paid tribute to Gibran Khalil Gibran in New York and at the UNESCO Palace in Paris. She has been very much appreciated for her Islamo-Christian AVE (an Ave Maria mixed with the Muezzin "Allah Akbar") that became her biggest hit!
Her interest for the cultures of the world had brought her close to South Korea. Invited on an official visit to Seoul, she met several political and military figures.
