Kuala Lumpur-born Sheila, whose real name is Shaheila Abdul Majid, is best known for her hits such as Sinaran, Legenda, Ratu and Warna.

Sheila, 44, developed an interest in music when she was four and became a recording artiste in 1982. Her debut album Dimensi Baru was launched in 1985. She performed at the Tokyo Music Festival in 1989, shortly after releasing her multi-platinum album Warna.

Her best-selling album Legenda, a tribute to Malaysia’s King of Entertainment Tan Sri P. Ramlee, was launched in 1990. In the same year, she was awarded the Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN) by the ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak.

Sheila also promoted Legenda with a successful nationwide tour that spanned two years and culminated in a concert at Stadium Negara which was attended by more than 10,000 people, the largest by a Malaysian solo artiste.

The singer has also dabbled in acting and appeared with Azmil Mustapha, Fauziah Ahmad Daud, the late Izi Yahya and Tan Sri Jins Shamsuddin in the 1985 romantic comedy Ali Setan.
