Award-winning Prodigy singer nominated for award
 Award-winning singer/songwriter Shahin Badar – of ‘the Prodigy’ fame – has been nominated for best alternative act for the Asian Music Awards (AMAS) 2009.
Best known for her spine-tingling vocals on the Prodigy’s ‘Smack my Bitch up’ smash-hit1, Shahin returns to the music scene, for the first time in two years after recovering from serious illness, with the release of her debut solo album ‘Laila’.
Shahin Badar, who lives in London, said:
"I’m thrilled to be nominated for an AMA after such a long stint away from the music scene.
"My new album ‘Laila’ features an eclectic mix of Electronica, Arabic and Indian sounds – so there’s something that appeals to everyone.
"I’m the only female in the alternative music category so hopefully girl-power will prevail on the night."
