Stracie Angie Anam (born August 18, 1990), popularly known as Stacy, is a Malaysian singer and the winner of the sixth season of Akademi Fantasia. She was the youngest competitor to win the competition, as well as the second female winner of the show.
Early life
Before auditioning for AF6, Stacy tried out for some notable singing reality shows, such as One in a Million 1, and also Gang Starz in which she was a member of a group named E-voke. Her decision of auditioning for AF6 was derived from her mother's suggestion as soon as she reached 18. She studied at St. Michael Penampang Secondary School until Form 4, but had to drop out of school due to her family's financial problem.[1]
Recently, Stacy was given a full scholarship to continue her studies in Limkokwing University Of Creative Technology. She will continue her studies in diploma of music and art, and will begin her first semester on February next year.[2]
