“To Bloom in Radiant Light”. Translated from its Arabic origin illustrates the beauty and depth behind the name, Nadhira Nishaa. The Malaysian-born singer songwriter has been mad about music for as long as she can remember. She has travelled extensively and has grown up in the UK, Brunei & Indonesia.

The MoveMint is proud to present Nadhira’s debut project “From Malaysia With Love”.

Like many musicians, her dream to become an accomplished and successful artist has developed to shape her style in many different ways over the years.
Having been classically trained on the piano at London’s Royal Academy of Music, Nadhira’s appreciation for a wide variety of musical genres is genuine.

Her attraction to R&B and its endless possibilities is where she finds herself most comfortable, and drawing from her personal experience is what inspired her 8 track EP “From Malaysia With Love.”

At the beginning of 2010 Nadhira unleashed her 1st single “Breaking Up” Ft. King Lhota (Senegal), which rose to the #1 spot on Fly FM’s Campur Chart, setting the stage for the release of “Do It Again”.

“Do It Again” quickly climbed the HITZ.FM MET 10 chart reaching #1 for a few weeks. The music video, produced by Three Librans Production, followed airing on HITZ.TV & 8TV and reached over 10,000 views after just a few months on YouTube.

Nadhira has garnered support from numerous Malaysian Media including; New Straits Times, JUICE Magazine, MOBILE WORLD Magazine, Malaysian Today, NTV7 Breakfast Show, Hitz.tv & MSN.com just to name a few.

Not only with support from Malaysia, Nadhira toured Canada to promote “From Malaysia With Love”, performing in Toronto, Vancouver & Salt Spring Island to appreciative crowds.

Aside from performing and promoting her current project, Nadhira is busy at work on her next project with South American label Mediadores and is a partner in the entertainment company The MoveMint.

Sepertimana yang Budiey khabarkan sebelum ini, program realiti The Biggest Loser Asia musim kedua akan menemui penonton dengan peserta yang baru pada 21 September 2010 ini di saluran DIva Universal jam 9 malam.

Dengarnya, jumlah peserta ujibakat meningkat untuk musim kedua. Mungkin ramai yang telah sedar bahawa program realiti TV yang penuh dengan drama untuk menguruskan badan ini berjaya terhasil. Lihat sahaja juara dan finalis musim lalu yang telah kekal langsing. Juara David Gurnani yang dah lupuskan berat badan sebanyak 83kg dan berjaya membawa pulang USD100,000 dan sebuah kereta. Tapi ada peserta dari Malaysia yang kini makin berisi badannya. Biasalah, Malaysia kan kaya dengan makanan. Tambahan pula di bulan Ramadan ini, banyak sekali makanan lazat juadah berbuka dijual di Bazar Ramadan.

Kalau sebelum ini, Budiey ada khabarkan hos baru The Biggest Loser Asia musim kedua ini diberi mandat kepada hos baru iaitu Marion Caunter. Dan kini, Budiey mahu mendedahkan pula siapa peserta yang akan berlumba-lumba menguruskan badan mereka.

Konsert Siti Nurhaliza Di Pulau Pinang Batal Atas Nasihat Doktor

GEORGETOWN: Penyanyi Datuk Siti Nurhaliza (gambar) dilaporkan telah membatalkan konsert Hari Malaysia di Pulau Pinang atas nasihat daripada doktor.

Pembatalan konsert yang bakal menyaksikan Siti beraksi selama satu jam pada 25 September depan di Stadium Bandaraya itu diumumkan oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng.

“Pada peringkat ini, kita sudah kesuntukan waktu untuk melakukan sebarang perubahan atau pindaan di saat-saat akhir, jadi kita memutuskan untuk membatalkan sahaja keseluruhan acara konsert itu. Kami kesal dengan apa yang berlaku tetapi kami menghormati masalah yang dihadapinya dan mendoakan yang terbaik untuk kesihatan Siti,” kata Lim yang dipetik daripada portal Star Online pada sidang media di pejabatnya di Komtar, Khamis.

Tambah Lim, pihak kerajaan negeri menerima surat penarikan diri daripada syarikat pengurusan Siti Nurhaliza Productions (M) Sdn Bhd pada hari Rabu yang turut kepilkan bersama surat akuan daripada pakar Perbidanan dan Sakit Puan, Pusat Perubatan Prince Court, Kuala Lumpur.

“Surat akuan itu menyatakan Siti tidak dibenarkan untuk berjalan jauh atau terlibat dengan sebarang aktiviti fizikal sepanjang proses rawatan berlangsung,” katanya.

Salinan daripada surat akuan itu menjelaskan “Siti Nurhaliza dinasihatkan agar tidak terlibat dengan sebarang aktiviti fizikal yang berat termasuklah mengadakan konsert pada waktu ini.”

Bagaimanapun, Lim enggan mendedahkan dengan lebih lanjut mengenai butiran surat akuan tersebut dan menyerahkan sebarang pertanyaan lanjut mengenai penyanyi itu kepada pengurus Siti sendiri.

Terdahulu, pelbagai laporan media menyatakan Siti Nurhaliza dan suaminya, Datuk Seri Khalid Mohd Jiwa sedang berusaha untuk mendapatkan anak. Penyanyi itu juga dilaporkan pernah mempertimbangkan untuk menjalani rawatan in-vitro fertilisation.

Menurut Lim, pihak Siti Nurhaliza Productions telah memulangkan semula bayaran pendahuluan sebanyak RM60,000 kepada kerajaan negeri dan turut bertanggungjawab di atas sebarang kos kerugian yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh pihak penganjur ekoran pembatalan itu. – Mstar Online
