Early life

Fazeela Amir was born and raised in the "Amir family" where several artists including Ahmed Amir and Ibrahim Amir were brought up and "ruled" the music industry.[1] She made her career debut with the album Hiyy Fahi where she lent her voice for eleven songs in the album.[1] This resulted in her receiving several offers from music directors and producers to sing for their films and albums before making her breakthrough with her "high-pitched" rendition of the songs in the 1994 released film Dheriyaa.[1] Her duets with Ali Rameez are well noted in the industry and maximum duets with Rameez are recorded by Amir.[2] In 1998, the Government of Maldives honoured her with the National Award of Recognition.[3] She remained as one of the most commercially successful and popular local artists till 2004, where the local scene of studio albums continued to trend downward.[1] At the 3rd Gaumee Film Awards ceremony, Amir was bestowed as the Best Female Playback Singer for her vocal performance in the song "Mihitha Loabi Dheynan" from Amaanaaiy (1998).[4] In 2018, Air was ranked fourth in the list of the "Most Desired Comeback Voices", compiled by Dho?.[5]
