[edit] Biography

Hady started singing at the age of 8 and instantly fell in love with it because of the passion in each individual genre. It is a way for him to convey his emotions and express himself freely. On the show Hady was known for his diverse versatility singing not only R&B, but Pop, Rock and Soul.

His occupation was a pub performer but he wished to be a professional soccer player growing up. The song that would describe him best is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen because of the flow of feelings and brilliant arrangement.

Three words Hady has used to describe himself are: simple, strong-willed and stubborn. He says he is good at ball games, entertaining guests and making scrambled eggs.

His favourite singers include John Legend, Robbie Williams, Babyface, Boyz II Men, Peter Cetera and Jamie Cullum. He has a very tight knit family and friends and is very grateful to all those who believe in him, especially his mum.

Hady's debut album, self-titled Hady Mirza, was released in Singapore on 13 November 2006 [1] and achieved Platinum status within 4 days of release. The album will be repacked with additional materials, scheduled for release in March/April 2007.
