Ummu Shaikhah Stacy binti Anam (born Stracie Angie Anam; 18 August 1990), known professionally by the mononym Stacy, is a Malaysian singer, songwriter and producer who rose to fame after winning the sixth season of Akademi Fantasia, receiving 43% of over 3.8 million votes.[1] Her debut album, Aku Stacy, was released on 9 March 2009. She also known as the Dancing Queen of Malaysia.[2][3][4] As a composer and lyricist, she is known as Bunga Cantik.

Early life

[edit]

Stacy was born in Kota Kinabalu to Anam Bayar and Agnes Kaloos.[5] She began her studies at SRK St. Joseph, then at St. Michael's Secondary School, Penampang. Due to her family's financial problem, she dropped out of school at age 16 when she was in Secondary 4.[6] To support her family, she became a singer in local clubs.

Prior to her audition for AF6, Stacy tried out for other notable singing reality shows, such as One in a Million 1, and also Gang Starz in which she teamed up with her brother, Camellus De'lleli Anam, to form a group named E-voke. However, she only made it to the semi-finals before they were eliminated.[7] Her decision to audition for AF6 was derived from her mother's suggestion, as soon as she turned 18.

Stacy was also given a full scholarship to continue her studies at the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. She studied in Diploma of Music and Art, and began her first semester in February 2010.[8]

Stacy's coronation song "Aku Stacy" was released immediately after her win and it became a huge success. The song quickly became her first No. 1 single in Carta Era for two weeks, as well as topping Carta 30 Era at No. one.

In the meantime, her first compilation live album, The Best of Stacy was released in September 2008 which featured all ten of her performances in Akademi Fantasia, excluding the fifth concert. The album was well-received selling thousands of copies in its the first week.

In December 2008, the song "Aku Stacy" made it to the final round of Anugerah Juara Lagu, an annual award show in Malaysia to honour the best Malay song each year, a rare accomplishment made by newcomers in the industry. Despite her busy schedules to be fully prepared for Anugerah Juara Lagu, Stacy's second single, "Gagap", premiered in the season finale of Sehati Berdansa. The song was commercially successful and became her second single to reach Top 5 on most charts. In Carta Era, the single peaked at No. 2 and was held off by Adam's "Benar-Benar". In Carta Hot Fm, the song debuted at No. 17 and went to peak at No. 5. The song also entered Carta Muzik FM at No. 10, and eventually peaked at No. 4.

In February 2009, Stacy was short-listed as the top 5 finalist for three major categories in Anugerah Bintang Popular, namely Most Popular Artiste, Most Popular Female New Artist, as well as Most Popular Female Singer,[10] where she was voted as the Most Popular Female New Artist. Stacy was also given a certificate of recognition by Sabah's Ministry of Sport and Youth (KBS) for her on-going efforts to improve herself as a newcomer in the entertainment industry. She was also recognised as Sabah's youth icon and idol in the entertainment industry.

Her debut album, Aku Stacy, was released on 9 March 2009.[10] She worked closely with notable local composers such as Ajai, Audi Mok as well as Edry KRU and Kieran Kuek. Just like the previous winners of Akademi Fantasia, she gets the opportunity to launch her album in her own town which takes place in Kota Kinabalu.

Stacy's third single, "Pakai Buang" was released on 9 May 2009. The song slowly climbed national charts peaked at No. 5 in Carta Muzik FM. In Carta Muzik Muzik, "Pakai Buang" debuted at No. 5 and peaked at No. 4. In June 2009, Stacy was nominated in Shout!

Stacy was voted second.[10]

Astro Mania!

[edit]

In March 2011, Stacy participated in Astro Mania! contest where Malaysia's established singers compete amongst themselves to be crowned the Superstar. Stacy was selected by M. Nasir to join his red team. She remained at Top 5 every week in the competition until the finals. She ended up as runner-up winning RM250,000.

2013: Stay-C

[edit]

Her second album, Stay-C was released on 9 September 2011.[10] The album contains eight new songs, with the lead radio single, Kisah Dongeng. The album is produced by Astro and distributed by Warner Music Malaysia.

On 11 November 2011, Stacy's new single "Kasanova" was officially launched with behind the scenes footage, special acoustics performances and the world premiere of Kasanova music video.

"Pelangi Senja" was released as the third single from Stay-C. The song was a commercial success, peaking atop Hot.fm and Muzik Muzik charts. The ballad showcased Stacy's versatile vocals, with critics praising her vocal performance in the song. The song was also hailed at No.2 as the most popular song in Malaysia in 2012.[12] Stacy managed to get to the final of the 27th Anugerah Juara Lagu. The video was released in July 2012.

2014–2016: #1

[edit]

The success of her final single from Stay-C, "Bosan" was proven when the song managed to compete in the grand final of AJL28 in January 2014. It was her fifth time competing in the final round of the most prestigious musical event in Malaysia. Her performance was received with mixed reviews by critics.[13]

Stacy's third album, #1 was released on 17 May 2014 at Zouk KL.[10] The album contains 10 songs, including the single, "Gilalah" and the collaboration with Indonesian boyband, SM*SH, "Hello". The album has 2 CDs, whereby CD2 features remix version of the songs. The album was released in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. The album proved Stacy's artistry as she was involved directly in the making of the album from the beginning to the end.

Stacy proved herself once again as a consistent artist when her first single "Gilalah" made it to the final of AJL29 in 2015.[14] "Gilalah" was a commercial success, having been played on the mainstream radios such as ERA.fm and Hot.fm every so often. It was the first song where Stacy was fully involved in making the lyrics. The video of the single was directed by herself and first showed exclusively on MeleTop.

In September 2014, Stacy released the video of "Patah" a promotional single from the album. Despite the solid vocal performance, the song failed to crack the radio charts.

Stacy made a triumphant comeback to the music and radio charts with her third single, "Not For Sale" featuring Malaysian famous rapper Altimet, which charted highly on most radio charts, as well as topping the Muzik-Muzik charts. "Not For Sale" also became a soundtrack for Malay popular drama "Tuan Anas Mikael". The accompanying music video was released on 4 August 2015. The song also brought Stacy to her 7th AJL appearance in January 2016.[13] Although she was sick a day before her performance, she wowed the audiences with her vocals and moves.[15]

Stacy's single "Romeo" was released on 30 January 2016.[16] Her husband, Akim wrote the song for her.[17] After her marriage with Akim, she released a song called "Bila-Bila" which discusses her love for her husband. The song was released on Team Sangat Gila Stacy channel on YouTube on 22 October 2016. Stacy later took a break from music due to pregnancy and taking care of her family.[3]

2017-present: "Cakap Ke Tangan", Rhyme & Rhythm Music Entertainment (R&R) and venture into song-writing

[edit]

After about a year-long hiatus, Stacy released her new dance-pop single "Cakap Ke Tangan" on 25 August 2017.[18] The song is written by her husband, Akim Ahmad and Laq.[19] The official music video for the single was released on 13 October 2017 and was directed by Casper, whom she works with for the "Not For Sale" video.[19]

In July 2018, Stacy announced that she is not renewing her contract with her management company, Rocketfuel Entertainment. She has been with the company since her Akademi Fantasia debut in 2008.[20] She also announced that she has set up her own talent management company, Rhyme & Rhythm Music Entertainment with husband, Akim.[20]

Stacy ventured into song-writing, under the pseudonym "Bunga Cantik" with the release of single "Rampas" that was popularized by Akim & The Majistret in August 2018.[21] She wrote her second single, "Khayal" which was released on 12 July 2019.[22] On February 14, 2020, Akim and Stacy again created a duet to their fans named " Aku Kau dan Muzik" with their own creation and Freddy HyperAct. This song has been accepted by fans as the melody and lyrics are very interesting and profound for the couple in love.

In 2022 at the 36th Anugerah Juara Lagu grand final night, Stacy for the first time won an award at the prestigious event. Her song Cinta by Marsha Milan created by her as a composer with Akim Ahmad was recognized as the second best song at the AJL 36.
