Biography
Sharifah Aida Mazlina Syed Hanafi or better known as Elly Mazlein (Jawi: آلي مضلين, born 17 December 1980) is a Malaysian singer, actress, host, comedian and radio presenter.
She signed a recording contract with NAR Records in 1997 and has released 4 solo studio albums during the 5 years of the contract. As a singer she's often compared to teenage singers of her generation such as Siti Nurhaliza and Liza Hanim. Even so, in 2001 she created her own record when her third album titled Elly managed to become one of the top 10 best-selling Malaysian albums of that year with sales exceeding 60,000 units. The success repeated the success of the previous album titled Satu Persatu which also sold 50,000 units. Elly managed to popularize songs such as "Usah Kupandu Bara Yang Tersimpan", "Janji Kekasih" and "Bungaku Bakawali" which dominated the country's radio charts at the time. Her music career stopped for a while in 2005 due to market factors and recording contracts.
As an actress, she began her acting career after being drafted by the famous actor and director, Datuk Yusof Haslam to star in the drama series Gerak Khas and since then, she has made a name for herself as one of the best-selling female TV actresses in Malaysia.
