Ajram was born on May 16th, 1983 to Nabil Ajram and Rimonda Oun, as the eldest of two siblings, Nadine Nariman Ajram and Nabil Ajram Jr. She started singing at the age of eight, when she appeared for the first time in 1991 at a singing contest for kids on national television in Lebanon. In 1995, at the age of twelve, Nancy Ajram took part in the entertainment show, Noujoum Al-Moustakbal, ("Stars of the Future"), a Lebanese television musical competition, winning a gold medal in the Tarab category after singing a song by Umm Kulthum.
Ajram studied music following her early success with renowned Lebanese musicians and although she was less than 18 years old, the syndicate of professional artists in Lebanon accepted her as a member because they found her to be an exceptional talent and deserved to be qualified as a professional artist. Shortly afterwards Nancy released her first album, Mihtagalak ("I Need You') in 1998, with most of its songs holding a pure Tarab style, thus starting her music career at the age of 15. It was followed by Sheel Oyoonak Anni ("Take Your Eyes Off Of Me") in 2000, which achieved more success.

والناجح شاورو عليه
فى حضانه لحد الجامعه
والنور بيبان فى عينيه
يا سلام على قوله آه
والناجح نجرى وراه
والدنيا بتضحك ليه
واحنا بنلعب وياه
والناجح شاورو عليه
فى حضانه لحد الجامعه
والنور بيبان فى عينيه
يا سلام على قوله آه
الناجح نجرى وراه
والدنيا بتضحك ليه
واحنا بنلعب وياه
للصبحيه نغنيله
و الشكلاته فى منديله
ينجح على طول فى حياته
و دموع ماما بتدعيله
الناجح ليه معايا
بتصقفلو الوردايا
و الشموسه بتضحكلو
و بترقصلو الشجرايه
للصبحيه نغنيله
و الشكلاته فى منديله
ينجح على طول فى حياته

إفرحو صبيان و بنات
أنا إبنى عدى وفات
بيشوفنى بيجرى عليا
و فى إيده سبع وردات
الورده الى فى ايديا
بتفتح من الحنية
عقبالو كل زميلو
