Ama Award Nominee

Award-winning singer/songwriter Shahin Badar – of ‘the Prodigy’ fame – has been nominated for best alternative act for the Asian Music Awards (AMAS) 2009.

Best known for her spine-tingling vocals on the Prodigy’s ‘Smack my B*** up’ smash-hit¹, Shahin returns to the music scene, for the first time in two years after recovering from serious illness, with the release of her debut solo album ‘Laila’.

Shahin Badar, who lives in London, said: “I’m thrilled to be nominated for an AMA after such a long stint away from the music scene.“My new album ‘Laila’ features an eclectic mix of Electronica, Arabic and Indian sounds - so there’s something that appeals to everyone. “I’m the only female in the alternative music category so hopefully girl-power will prevail on the night.” To vote for Shahin Badar in the best alternative category for the 2009 UK AMAS go to: http://www.theukama.com/

"We have worked with shahin a few times and she always smashes it in the studio . she carries a special energy and vibe that we all buzz off ,she totally understood on a street level what we wanted to do with 'smack my b*** up' and we respect her for having the balls to get involved in that record....we wish her good luck with her nomination". Liam Howlett 'prodigy'

Shahin has a wonderful voice, so it does not surprise me that she was nominated for this award. I loved her on the Prodigy song. I can't wait to hear if she does anymore collaborations in the future.

She is just amazing! I adore her voice and her special manner of behavior! Frankly speaking I don't know if she won in nomination, but in any case she merited on it!
