Thank you World Music Awards !!
Happy Birthday Shila Amzah
Nurshahila binti Amir Amzah is celebrating her 25th birthday today! She is a Malaysian award winning singer-songwriter, composer, musician, dancer, actress, businesswoman and record producer.
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by a family of musicians, Shila began making music when she was 9 years old and performed in various musical venues in her hometown throughout her childhood. She released her debut album, 'Terima Kasih Guruku' at the age of 10. She started winning awards from then on, beginning with the Most Popular Kids Artist at the Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian. From the age of 4, Shila was already going to recording studios with her dad, a singer named Amir Amzah or more popularly known as ND Lala. She continued her singing career by breaking out to Shanghai, China and eventually won the Asian Wave (Season 1). As the winner of the Asian Wave (season 1) held in Shanghai, China, she won 5 Million MYR and a 6-year recording contract with Shanghai Media Group, the media company behind the competition. She became recognized as a solo singer after winning Patah Seribu as Best Pop Song Award and Best Song Award at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (19 edition). After she rose to fame winning the Asian Wave and second runner-up of I Am A Singer (Season 2), she was dubbed as Asia's Sweetheart, Princess of Music and National Treasure of Malaysia.
Shila was the first runner up of Bintang Kecil RTM in 2000, first runner-up of One In A Million (Season 2), champion of Asia New Singer Competition in 2008 and first runner-up of Anugerah Juara Lagu (29th Edition). She has worked with big names from the Mandopop industry such as Eric Moo where she was the opening act for his concert and is planning a duet with Wang Leehom. She also won a special award, the Kembara Award (International Breakthrough Award) at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (20th Edition). Shila won an award called "The Most Popular Foreign Female Artist","Best Female Artist" and "Excellent in Song Performance" after launching her single, Zai Jian Bu Zai Jian at Hong Kong. Before the Asian Wave, she performed a duet with Miley Cyrus called "Best of Both World" to promote Hannah Montana in Malaysia. Apart from singing, Shila loves to dance to Latin, Salsa, Rock and K-Pop. She has been interested in dancing even before singing professionally.
In 2004, she changed her name to Sha-Hila as her record company, EMI, wanted her name to be shorter. Later on, she joined the One In A Million singing contest and needed to make her name shorter. The organizer of OIAM2 truncated her name to just Shila. After coming in as the first runner up, she was called "Shila OIAM". She didn't like the name and so she added "Amzah" to her stage name, as her father's name is Amir Amzah. In Chinese's speaking country, Shila's name is Shira. Shila's fan base is not restricted to Malaysia, with a wide range of fans from China, Singapore, Hong Kong and other Southeastern Asian countries. She's currently planning her debut appearance in South Korea as her interest is in K-Pop. She also stated that she's a big fan of K-Pop and K-drama, and is a fan of South Korean boyband EXO. Shila revealed that she wants to produce at least one single in Korea in the near future. She is still considering appearances in other neighbouring countries such as Indonesia and Australia and even Canada and Las Vegas. To Shila, Skechers Sundown Festival would be a gauge if she would do a major concert in Singapore.
Recently, she stated in an interview that she will do a major concert in Hong Kong at the end of the year 2015.
