Muhammad Mirzahady Bin Amir, also known as Hady Mirza (born 28 January 1980),[1] is a Singaporean singer. Known as one of Singapore's most prominent singers of the early 21st century, Hady is most known for his smooth R&B voice and charming personality.

Asian Idol is a competition between six Idol winners from several different Asian countries, namely Singapore Idol, Malaysian Idol, Indonesian Idol, Indian Idol, Philippine Idol and Vietnam Idol.

After a few years of hiatus, Hady made his comeback by joining Gegar Vaganza 6 in 2019. Hady was named co-winner of the sixth season of the Malaysian television singing show, sharing the title with Naqiu Boboy.[2]
