BIO

NADDI (formerly known as Nadhira) is an award-winning R&B, Pop, and Hip-Hop singer-songwriter.

She has been coloring the Malaysian music industry with chart-topping and award-winning English songs for over a decade, bringing Malaysia’s name to London, France, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and more.

She had spent half of her life living abroad in London, Brunei, and Jakarta. Now, this international girl is embracing her roots and has re-branded her identity to NADDI with improved sounds focusing more on promoting her mother-tongue language, Bahasa Malaysia, with a twist of the Negeri Sembilan dialect to honor her origins and her country.

NADDI released her first EP in 2010 entitled “From Malaysia with Love”. Three of her EP songs were voted the #1 songs on Malaysian radio charts.

The EP’s success has landed her a showcase in Toronto, Vancouver & Salt Spring Island, Canada. She was also invited to do an opening performance for international multi-platinum recording artists, Iyaz and Kevin Lyttle, at Fort Canning Park, Singapore, all within the same year.

In 2011, NADDI released her full album “12 Shades” with a lead single, “Tear Us Apart”, featuring an Australian singer, Ron E. Jones. The song became one of the most highly played songs on Malaysian English radio and bagged her prestigious Asia’s VIMA Music Awards 2012 for “Best Pop/R&B Song”.

In 2013, her other single, “Closer” featuring Vandal received two nominations for “Best Pop Song” and “Best Music Video” at the same VIMA Music Awards and they received 3rd place for the Music Video.

NADDI released “Fire” featuring David Cook in 2014. The song was nominated for “Best English Song” in Malaysia’s most prestigious music award, Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) 2014.

She was also selected to represent Malaysia at the Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale, one of the world’s leading international business events for the music ecosystem that has been held since 1967 where thousands of people from the music industry around the world attended the event to discuss the future of the music industry.
