DUBAI: Soniya Shyam, a Dubai-based Malayali singer, has been crowned the winner of Star Singer UAE Talent Hunt, a prestigious Asianet Middle East initiative celebrating aspiring musical talents across the UAE.
The Talent hunt, which saw a highly competitive call for entry phase, received hundreds of video entries from across the UAE’s vibrant expatriate community.
Soniya stood out among them with her exceptional talent and won a unique opportunity – an all-expenses paid trip to Kerala to do a special performance on the Star Singer stage, in the presence of celebrated music icons K.S. Harisankar, Vidhu Prathap, and Sithara Krishnakumar.
Soniya’s victory is a testament to the talent thriving within the UAE’s borders and the relevance of platforms like Star Singer UAE Talent Hunt, designed to be a vital bridge between community stages and mainstream South Indian entertainment.

Asianet ME has made my dream come true. And, I am happy that I could deliver a memorable performance.”
