She was the host of a television show called Teen World. In 2004, she launched her film career by playing the leading role in Bicara Hati, which became her breakout role and earned her an award nomination. Later in 2005 she starred in the film Gol & Gincu.

By 2010, she had done more than 10 featured films, countless hit TV series and dramas, and had hosted a number of television programs.

Early life and education[edit]

Fazura was born in one of the rural province at Pekan, a town in the state of Pahang in Malaysia.[1][non-primary source needed] She is the third of four siblings and has three brothers.[2] Her father died on September 14, 2000. She enrolled at a fashion design college and studied fashion for a while before quitting after a few months, saying, "Because my interest in the course dwindled after a while".[3] and accepting an offer to star in Qaisy & Laila.[4] She was discovered and given the big break by film producer-director Datin Rosnani Jamil.[5]

Career[edit]

2002–06: Early career, breakthrough and Gol and Gincu[edit]

In the Gol & Gincu film, Fazura played Putri, a bubbly-energetic girl who was suddenly dumped by her boyfriend Eddy (Ashraf Sinclair) for Sasha (Sazzy Falak), who then decides to try and win over Eddy's heart by starting her own futsal team. 2005 also marked the first time Fazura landed the main role on a television series, Inspirion. The series, directed by Rashid Sibir and starring Eizlan Yusof, was broadcast on TV3. In 2006, Gol & Gincu went from a hugely successful film to a commercial TV series. The series, which premiered on June 4, 2006, saw Fazura reprise her role as Putri. The TV series marks Fazura's second appearance in a television series.

Fazura started 2007 with more works. Fazura went to playing the lead role in the 2007 film Kayangan and was cast in two TV drama series, Datin Diaries and Kasih Suci. Fazura co-starred alongside two Indonesian actors in both Kayangan and Kasih Suci. Kayangan was released on 9 August 2007, but was considered a box-office failure. In the same year, Fazura went back to her route as a TV host to become a VJ on MTV Asia network channel. She hosted shows called MTV Jus and MTV Pop Inc. throughout the year. Fazura also reprised her role as Putri for the second season of the hit Gol & Gincu The Series which aired starting on 8 July 2007. In 2008, Fazura co-starred in the film titled Selamat Pagi Cinta playing Julia together with Pierre Andre, Sharifah Amani and Que Haidar.[6] Later that year, Fazura was cast in another TV series playing the title character in Ezora.[7] Premiered on 19 May, on TV3, the TV series was one of the hit drama series during the period.[7] It premiered only for one season.[7] Also in 2008, Fazura guest-starred on horror TV series called Keliwon.[8]

The film released on 5 November 2009 and became a box-office hit.[10] It was the first time Fazura and Maya Karin have made a film together.[11] In the same year, Fazura was chosen to host a reality program show alongside Rusdi Ramli called Anak Wayang as well as Malaysia's sport entertainment programme on ESPN Star Sports channel called MyEG Xtra Time! alongside Marion Caunter. In 2010, Fazura signed on as Katerina/Kate, one of the central character in the novel adaptation film, Lagenda Budak Setan and received good reviews from critics and fans alike for her performance in the film.

Fazura won the Best Actress Award at the 27th Malaysia Film Festival Awards for "Manisnya Cinta Di Cappadocia".[13]

She also ventured into the music scene with the release of her first single, "Sayangi Dirimu"[14] and was chosen to star in E!'s first Malaysian miniseries title, "Facing Up to Fazura".[15] The series premiered across Asia starting 14 December 2014 on E! News Asia.[16][17][18][19]

2015–present[edit]

She took one step ahead by announcing three variants of body mists spray — "I Love You", "Spotlight" and "Berry Beautiful" through her own brand namely "Mystical by Fazura" under her own company label, Doll Domination, which was launched on 14 October 2015 at her boutique, whilst saying she wanted to focus more on building her brand.[20]

At the same time, she emerged with a new single called "Bangun", created by Lea Ismail (The Wak Lu's), one of the band members who was also involved in the mini showcase that was being held at Hard Rock Cafe Melaka, in the same month. At the time, Fazura had announced that she was planning to produce a mini album which would consist of about 7 songs.[21]

On 18 October 2015, Fazura appeared live in a mini showcase at Hard Rock Cafe, Melaka alongside her band, "The Wak Lu's", and performed eight songs.[22] She also collaborated with a local alternative rock band, Estranged in a ballad called "Hancur Aku".
