Does the fact give her some advantages or setbacks? “No one wants to be the shadows of another.But with my mum, I take it as a blessing and priviledge. After all, without her, where would I be now?” she said. “She was my drive, my catalyst, my support and the shoulder that I cry on when I need to bawl out. In all, no one can have a better best friend than what I have with my mum.”
Born in the southern state of Johor, and grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Atilia feels complete support from her family. That boost up her confidence in creating some of the finest melodies in Malaysia. The evident is revealed in her debut album, “Sangkar” that has launched in March 2007 and marketed domestically in June 2007 in Malaysia.


Her inspiration came from Sade, Earth Wind and Fire, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Malaysian artists Sheila Madjid, Azlina Aziz, Khatijah Ibrahim, Fairuz Hussein, or Indonesian artists Adien, Maliq n d’Essentials, Tompi and the Bali Lounge album.
The album “Sangkar” (Cage), is a long awaited album. It’s been in the making for 10 years, and now it’s ready. She’s ready to shine in the music scene. Atilia sings with the most simplistic manner, without vocal acrobatics to impress her capabilities of reaching several octaves. All she desire is to project and tell stories in a musical and soothing manner that will have you glued to your speakers and hear the crispness and clarity of her voice. This album is great, with 10 songs that will surely lighten up your days.
