Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin (born 11 January 1979) is a Malaysian pop singer. She is one of the most successful Malaysian singers in recent times.BiographyEarly childhoodSiti Nurhaliza was born in Berek Polis Kg. Awah, Temerloh, Pahang, Malaysia, to father Tarudin bin Ismail, a policeman, and mother, Siti Salmah Bachik, a housewife. She has eight siblings, one of whom died after she was born.Initially, Siti was labeled a tomboy because of her active attitude and her tendency toward boyish appearance. As she began to attend Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Clifford, she took on a more feminine appearance; and her mother's grooming shaped her into a well-behaved and elegant Malay girl. Early commercial successSiti Nurhaliza's family performed at many local ceremonies at their hometown, such as weddings. At the age of twelve, Siti began to learn traditional songs from her mother, and thus went on to follow her family's steps by singing at special occasions.Later, as she continued to work on her singing, she participated in numerous local singing competitions. At 16, she competed in the 1995 RTM Juara Bintang competition. While there, she met Adnan Abu Hassan, a locally-famous composer. He tutored her and helped her with her vocal performance, thereby helping her to win the contest. After that, she was granted a contract with Suria Records, where Adnan worked, and in 1996 released her first album, Siti Nurhaliza. Making her first album was a challenge because she had to balance working on her album while preparing for and taking the SPM examination. Despite this, her first album was a great success, and this would pave the way for her extremely successful future albums. Career developmentAfter her first album, Siti Nurhaliza became a well-known figure in Malay pop culture. She continued to have numerous hits, her songs spanning a broad range of genres, such as pop, R & B, and traditional Malay. Her voice and lyrics proved popular with teenagers throughout Malaysia. Thanks to this, she dominated national award shows for years.Recently, even though competing artists, such as Ning Baizura, Dayang Nurfaizah and Misha Omar, have been challenging Siti's position at the top of the Malay pop industry, she remains on top in Malaysia's music industry and is the most recognized Malay pop icon. Siti held a successful solo concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London in April 2005, although the majority of the audience were Malaysians living in UK and Malaysians coming from Malaysia. She is one of few Malaysian singer after Sudirman Arshad and Raihan, to have performed at the Royal Albert Hall. RomanceShe is currently rumoured to be in a relationship with a prominent Malaysian business man calle Dato' K. The rumour goes that she will be getting married this year ( 2006 ). She neither declined nor confirm the rumours which is bizarre since she would always deny or confirm any rumours involving her prior to this.The rumours were further fueled during her acceptance speech in "Anugerah Bintang Popular 2006". In her acceptence speech she thanked "her special one", something that she never did during her long and successful career.Promotional workSiti's increasing popularity meant that demand for her endorsement is high. She sung themes for movies ( i.e Puteri Gunung Ledang )and corporate jingle for Maxis. She has also been featured in various advertisements and become spokewoman to many well-established brands such as Maxis, Maybelline,PEPSI, Jusco, TMnet, and Samsung.Career achievementSiti Nurhaliza has garnered many awards over her career.
