Career

Shaira is a Filipino Moro singer who works under the record label AHS Productions. [4] She is also part of the band named Trigger. [5]

She would receive wider public attention online by early 2024, for her song "Selos" which was released the year prior and would earn the reputation as the "Queen of Bangsamoro Pop" in social media. [5]

However, the song which is a derivative of the Lenka song "Trouble is a Friend" would be voluntarily taken down from streaming platforms in March 2024 by her record label over copyright issues.

Three more songs would also be removed from streaming namely: "Forever Single (Walang Jowa)", "Babaero Na Pakboy", and "Machine Gun". They were allegedly derived from Indonesian songs "Masij Mencintainya" by band Papinka, "Lagi Syantik" by Siti Badriah, at "Uwiw Uwiw" by Cita Citata respectively. [1] [4] [6]

"Selos" would be re-released on April 11, 2024 following month after AHS's negotiations with Lenka's camp. [7]

Personal life

Shaira married Muiz Abdullah in 2019 when both were 17 years old, which is permissible under their religion of Islam. As of 2024, she is a graduating college student who is pursuing a degree in social work. [2] Shaira hails from Sultan Kudarat. [8]
