Of An
Entertainer
D
ato’ Siti Nurhaliza
made
her debut in the local entertain-
ment scene in 1996 when her
song
Jerat Percintaan
became
an instant hit and made a huge
impact on Malay music listeners
across the country. Twenty years
on, she has successfully cemented her status as an
iconic singer with a fan base across Asia, boasting
of 17 solo albums in her discography. She remains
Malaysia’s most beloved entertainer with her
down-to-earth nature and persona.
Dato’ Siti is still in high demand and shows
no sign of slowing down with new albums out in
store and a successful acoustic concert recently
celebrating her 20th anniversary in the entertain-
ment scene.
Congratulationson the releaseof your album
Frag-
men
,whichreceivedagreatresponsefromyour fans
across the region.Whatwereyour expectations for
this album?
Personally, I think
Fragmen
is one of the best
albums that I have ever recorded. After a few years
without a new release, I was determined to produce
an album that was in line with the current wave
of changes and technology in the music industry.
When
Fragmen
nabbed the trophy for Best Album
at
Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM),
along with a
few other awards at
Anugerah Planet Muzik
, I felt
that the hard work had actually paid off.

top singers.
