Hady Mirza

 

A perfect pitch, a mesmerizing voice coupled with the boy-next-door charms… these qualities epitomize HADY MIRZA.

For over 6 months, he bowled over both judges and audiences alike with his performance during the Singapore Idols 2006 competition. The nation sat captivated week after week, mesmerized by his big, soulful voice belting out songs with unwavering passion. Exuding an incomparable charismatic aura, HADY MiRZA has proven himself worthy of garnering the title of Singapore Idol 2006 with a resounding 70% of nearly a million votes.

The self-titled album is the perfect introduction to HADY – the things that inspire him, the music that make the man and the kind of songs that gets close to his heart. He also left a very personal mark on his debut release with an original number – “Merpati” (Dove).

In addition to his debut album that has already hit platinum status within 1 month of sales, SingPost has also commissioned a set of his self-image stamps in recognition of his achievements. Not forgetting the less fortunate, HADY, demonstrating a personal resiliency equal to that of his professional life, has also became a very public advocate for charity through involvement in events for beneficiaries including MILK, Minds etc.

Apart from making his mark in regional award ceremonies by winning the Most Popular Artiste (Singapore) and Most Popular Song (Singapore) in Anugerah Planet Muzik Awards in years 2007 and 2008, Hady is also the Singapore Promise Ambassador for 2008. Hady strived on and made Singapore Asia’s best when he was crowned the first Asian Idol in Dec 2007, beating other contestants from five countries. With his unique soulful voice and charming looks, Hady Mirza will now represent Asia to promote the diversified Asian music to the world.

As a young boy, HADY dreamt of playing professional soccer. These dreams may not have materialized but soccer’s loss is the singing profession’s gain. The Asia’s new Idol is raring to take on his new role. Rather than bathe in past glory, the crooner has got his sights firmly set on the future, hoping to inspire people with his music.

“I need to become better, not just as a singer or performer, but as a person. “
