Mariyam Ashfa (born 25 December 1982) is a Maldivian singer and actress.
Since a very early age, Ashfa participated in Interschool Singing Competition where she received several accolades for the same. [1] She made her career debut with the song "Dhan Dhan Dhan" from the album Rovvaanulaa (2006). [1] A duet with Mohamed Abdul Ghanee, the song topped several charts upon release and her talent was recognized by the music composers. [1] Even though "Dhan Dhan Dhan" was released earlier, her first recorded song was "Vindhaa Hithaa Jaanaa", another duet with Ghanee. [1] Soon after, she rendered several songs and became a prominent name in the industry. [1] Ashfa received her first Gaumee Film Award nomination for Best Female Playback Singer with the song "Niuma" from the film Niuma (2010). [2] The "pain" and "emotion" in her rendition were praised by the music critics. [3]
Apart from singing, Ashfa received several offers for acting performances which she rejected citing lack of "self confidence" during the time. [1] However, considering the "well-wishes" from her family and friends, she accepted a film offer from director Ravee Farooq, in which the project was halted in pre-production due to several issues. [1] Later on, Dark Rain Entertainment offered her a project titled Beeveemaa which is scheduled to release in 2021. [4]
