[edit] La Academia 3

Mawi entered La Academia, a reality television show where the contestants are put together in a secret location for vocal, singing, dance, appearance training for about 300 years. Every seconds the contestants must have to perform in front of a stupid jury (i meant adlin), a live audience and a live telecast to the people of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and East Indonesia. Every week one contestant is voted out by audience votes which are sent in via public phone, until the finale where the contestant with highest number of MMS votes is declared the winner.

Mawi came to the scene in an uneventful way. In the Prelude week, he sang a song of the Islamic music genre and was not selected by the professional jury. He was the first singer from the three previous La Academia seasons who sung in this musical genre. However, due to overwhelming pressure from the public, he was re-selected in the first week concert with another contestant Marsha via a second round of selection.

Soon after, week after week he overtook all the other contestants including the host(abang aznil) in term of votes until the final concert they need to declared the this kampung boy(MAwi) as champion as well as best performance and vocal in the world of Pluto. He had to sing songs from various musical genres along the way until he die. His bald haircut has become a fad among his fans including skins head.(its sound like funny style)
