She also won Best New Artist, Best Pop Album and Best Album at the 2003 Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM 2003). In addition, she also won the Best Female New Artist award at the 2003 Anugerah Planet Muzik (APM 2003). She was also the only new artist to be nominated in the Best Female Artist category which was won by Siti Nurhaliza that year.[7] [8]

Early life

Siti Sarah was born on 15 September 1984 in Ipoh, Perak. She was the second child of 3 siblings and the only daughter in her family to Raisuddin Hamzah and Noor Aini Mohamed. Sarah had one older brother, Ahmad Firdous and a younger brother, Ahmad Yazeed.

Career

Her father, Raisuddin had also started his career as a singer when he participated in the same competition in the early 1980s. Siti Sarah's talent in the music industry was first discovered at the Bintang URTV 2001 competition at the East Zone level where she was the champion after singing the Indonesian song, "Ku Akui". The championship also took her to the finals of the competition which took place in September 2001.[9]

After joining Bintang RTM and Bintang URTV 2001, she signed a recording contract with NAR Records in early 2002. Her self-titled debut album, was released in the same year with the song "Kesetiaan" released as the first single.[10] [11] Her second album, Mimpi Pun Sama was released in December 2003, which sold 12,000 copies. "Jangan Kau Mimpi" and "Saat Hilang Cintamu" were released as singles. She was one of the few Malaysian artists who contributed her voice for a special song entitled "Suluhkan Sinar". Produced by KRU and released in January 2005, the song is specially dedicated to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and was officiated by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Najib Razak. Other artists involved in the project were Akademi Fantasia participants, Erra Fazira, Dayang Nurfaizah, Alleycats, Jaclyn Victor, AC Mizal, Spider, Ning Baizura and Anita Sarawak.[12] Also in 2005, her third and final studio album, Tiada Dikau Tiada Makna was released. "Bersamamu" and "Tinggal Serpihan" were released as lead singles. Her first compilation album, Suatu Perjalanan was released in 2008 featuring her hit songs from her 3 previous albums.

Siti Sarah participated in the reality competition for the second season of One in a Million which saw recording artists including her compete with new faces to raise RM1,000,000 as music career funding. She finished in third place. Her weekly performances were quite energetic and proud.[13] In 2009, Siti Sarah participated in an international competition, the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA), gaining 3 gold medals to Malaysia. In addition to the artist at the time, Bob AF also gained 5 gold medals for the country.[14] [15] [16] She was also involved in acting, starring in the film Man Sewel Datang KL (2011) alongside her husband, Shuib Sepahtu. In the film, she played the role of Salbiah.[17] [18]

In 2016, Sarah became one of the contestants for the 3rd season of Gegar Vaganza, a reality competition for experienced singers. She became the second runner-up in the first week through her hit song, "Jangan Kau Mimpi" with an energetic vocal and dance performance. She also remained Top 2 for the next 2 weeks through the song "Teratai Layu di Tasik Madu" (originally performed by Fauziah Latiff) and Joget Sayang-menyayang (Anita Sarawak). At the end of the third season, Sarah was named the runner-up.[19] [20] [21] In 2018, she released a new single, "Semakin" written by her husband, Shuib.[22] She also dueted with her husband for the song, "Semakin Benci Semakin Cinta" by Ajai, which was released in June 2021.[23] It would turn out to be her last song ever recorded.

Personal life

Siti Sarah was engaged to New Zealand motorcyclist Muhammad Harith Fuad Robinson in January 2007 but their engagement ended in early 2008.[24] [25] They had previously been rumored to have had an affair around November 2006.[26]

Siti Sarah then married comedian Shahmira Muhamad or popularly Shuib Sepahtu on 26 February 2011.[27] The couple had four children, Uwais Alqarni, Dzahira Talita Zahra, Ariq Matin and Ayash Affan. She started wearing the headscarf in May 2018.[28]

Her mother, Noor Aini Mohamed, died on 26 June 2013.[29]

Controversy

In September 2020, Siti Sarah faced criticism from netizens for insulting the hair of the Orang Asli in a video. The action was done through a TikTok video recording from the account of famous salon owner Ridzo Kumura which was posted by a Twitter user.[30] She, however, made a public apology.[31] [32]

In February 2021, Sarah and her husband, Shuib were fined RM1,000 each after being found to have violated the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the imposed Movement Control Order (MCO) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia at food premises in Kuala Lipis, Pahang.[33]

Death

Siti Sarah died from COVID-19 at the Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) UKM on 9 August 2021, at the age of 36.[34] [35] She was survived by her husband Shuib Sepahtu and four children including her newborn fourth child three days before her death.[36] [37] Her remains were buried and laid to rest at the Kampung Sungai Pusu Islamic Cemetery, Gombak.[38] [39] [40]
