A playback and television singer from Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh — a voice shaped on the stage of Padutha Theeyaga and carried since into Telugu cinema.
Sabiha — credited on some soundtracks as Sabeeha — is a singer from Kadapa (Cuddapah), Andhra Pradesh. Her public story begins on Padutha Theeyaga, the ETV singing show that S. P. Balasubrahmanyam hosted and judged from 1996, where she placed fourth in its debut season among a field the show would go on to send into Telugu playback careers.
Her own recording career surfaced a decade later, in 2011, with Kodipunju. Since then her voice has moved between commercial Telugu cinema, chorus and re-recording work across a long list of productions, and private and devotional recordings released independently — a working singer's path, built one session at a time rather than a single breakout hit.
Music turns moments into memories.
In 2021 she returned to the show that first placed her on record, singing solo numbers and a duet on Padutha Theeyaga Aanati Apurupaalu, the series' nostalgic revival. Most recently, she has recorded for M. M. Keeravani on Chandramukhi 2 — a full-circle session, twenty-five years after a teenager's fourth-place finish on a Sunday-night talent show.

Composers, co-singers, and hosts whose work with Sabiha is documented in this archive.
Told plainly, in keeping with the rest of this archive: no formal awards or press coverage have been located yet.
No industry or state award record has been located under this name to date. This archive will be updated the moment one surfaces.
No interviews, features, or reviews have been located yet. A working singer's press record often lags well behind the work itself.
A photo archive is one of the biggest gaps in the public record.
Rather than fill this space with a stock image or an unrelated photo of someone sharing the name, this archive leaves it open until a verified portrait or performance photograph can be sourced.
Notes from building this archive.
For years, the earliest confirmed recording on record was 2018. Cross-checking soundtrack listings for Kodipunju (2011) turned up a "Chitti Chitti" credit under "Sabeeha" — quietly pushing her documented career back by seven years.
Twenty-five years after her Padutha Theeyaga finals, a 2021 revival brought her back to the same stage — this time as a guest performer rather than a contestant, singing solo and in duet with a fellow alumnus.
A recording session for M. M. Keeravani on Chandramukhi 2 hasn't yet surfaced in any public soundtrack credit — a reminder that a session singer's real body of work often runs well ahead of what the internet has caught up to.
