Shahin supported leading US rapper 50 Cent when his tour took in Lebanon with award winning producer Guy Manoukian at The Biel, in front of a 20 thousand strong audience followed by an invitation to perform with chart topping Turkish artist Mercan Dede in Germany.

Shahin Badar 'GLORY OF INDIA AWARD WINNER'

21st july ,Crowne Plaza,London.

She spent her youth growing up in Colchester, Kuwait and India learning to sing in several languages.

Shahin has a profile of international work that continues to grow. This work includes vocal inclusions in over 40 soundtracks which include strong female TV, film and advert characters such as Nikita, Lara Croft, Scottish Widows and Charlie's Angels.

She has appeared on 3 UK No.1 albums, two of which were grammy nominated, collaborated with top composers such as A.R Rahman and many upcoming acts.

Although not able to pick up the award herself, Shahin was delighted to hold the award in her hand and beam 'Women in the music industry, in fact, in most industries do not always receive the recognition that they should for their work and even when they have, they often have to do that much more to be accepted and recognised.This award is an honour for me because it serves as recognition of my music and that of other women and this will go with my Channel S TV award for contribution to the community which I picked up last year'

Signed to Times Music in India, Shahin's current album is due for full release soon and is entitled " Laila".

Among the previous recipients of the coveted award include Bollywood actor and film producer Dev Anand.
