Career

In 2007, Saeed appeared in one of the Television Maldives-created singing series shows, Thihan'dhaanugai, where she performed a cover of the song "Eynee Loabi", originally performed by Masodi Hassan Khaleel. [1] Her voice was regarded as "somber", "husky" and "closed" yet "soulful", mostly comfortable in the lower vocal range. [2] In 2008, she was nominated as the "Voice of Maldives", a singing competition where the winner gets to show up in Voice of India. [3] She performed in the succeeding shows of Ehan'dhaanugai series including Thihan'dhaanugai Remix (2008) and Ehan'dhaanugai Duet (2009), where she rendered a remix cover version of the song "Vindhaa Hithaa" originally performed by Sultans Band, for the former and a duet song "Balamun Midhaa" for the latter with Ahmed Amir. [4] [5] She next performed the slow-paced romantic song "Vindhu Hithaa" for the film E Dharifulhu (2009), alongside Mohamed Abdul Ghanee, which was nominated as the Best Duet Song in Maldives Video Music Awards 2010. [6] This was followed by her collaboration with Hassan Ilham for the upbeat dance song "Udhabaani" from Udhabaani (2009). [6]

In 2010, she was part of the vocal ensemble in the song "Annaashey Hinithun Velamaa" from Dhin Veynuge Hithaamaigaa (2010), the child abuse awareness song "Veeraana" from Veeraana , "Vindhaa Kulhey" from Niuma (2010) and "Vaahandhaanakun Rovenee" from Vaahan'dhaanakun 2. [7] For the latter, released as a memoire for late legend Naifaru Dhohokko, she recorded an additional track "Giritee Loabin", all of which were well received by audience and critics. [8] The year marks her last appearance in the Ehan'dhaanugai series, by performing the cover version of Nethuneehey Miadhu Beynun, alongside Hassan Jalaal. [9] Also, she collaborated with Jalaal and Mira Mohamed Majid, serving as a coach for the contestants for Raajje Ran Adu in 2010. [10] The following year, she was heard in only one song "Lafzu Thakey" from Sazaa (2011). [11]
