Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by a family of musicians, Shila began making music when she was 9 years old and performed in various musical venues in her hometown throughout her childhood. She released her debut album, Terima Kasih Guruku at the age of 10. She started winning awards from then on, beginning with the Most Popular Kids Artist at the Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian. From the age of 4, Shila was already going to recording studios with her dad, a singer named Amir Amzah or more popularly known as ND Lala. She continued her singing career by breaking out to Shanghai, China and eventually won the Asian Wave(Season 1). As the winner of Asian Wave (season 1) held in Shanghai, China, she won 5 Million MYR and a 6-year recording contract with Shanghai Media & Entertainment Group, the media company behind the competition. She became recognized as a solo singer after winning Patah Seribu as Best Pop Song Award and Best Song Award at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (19 edition). After she rose to fame winning the Asian Wave and second runner-up of I Am A Singer (Season 2), she's been dubbed as Asia's Sweetheart[4] Princess of Music and National Treasure of Malaysia.

Shila was the first runner up of Bintang Kecil RTM in 2000, first runner-up of One In A Million (Season 2), champion of Asia New Singer Competition in 2008 and first runner-up of Anugerah Juara Lagu (29 Edition) She has worked with big names from the Mandopop industry such as Eric Moo where she was the opening act for his concert and is planning a duet with Wang Leehom. She also won a special award, the Kembara Award (International Breakthrough Award) at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (20th Edition). Shila was listed as Top 5 Most Popular Female Artist in China after making an appearance at I Am A Singer Season 2 .[5]

Before the Asian Wave, she performed a duet with Miley Cyrus entitled Best of Both World to promote Hannah Montana at Malaysia. Apart from singing, Shila loves to dance to Latin, Salsa, Rock and K-Pop. She has been interested in dancing even before singing professionally.

Shila's name has changed from the time she was known as Nurshahila/Shila Tekno. She explained that when she was a child, she used "Nurshahila" as her stage name at that time. In 2004, she changed her name to Sha-Hila as her record company, EMI, wanted her name to be shorter. Later on, she joined the One In A Million singing contest and needed to make her name shorter. The organizer of OIAM2 truncated her name to just Shila. After coming in as the first runner up, she was called "Shila OIAM". She didn't like the name and so she added "Amzah" to her stage name, as her father's name is Amir Amzah. In China, Shila's name is Xilā.

Shila's fan base is not restricted to Malaysia, with a wide range of fans from China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Kazakhstan and other Southeastern Asian countries. She's currently planning her debut appearance in South Korea as her interest is in K-Pop. She also stated that she's a big fan of K-Pop and K-drama, and is a fan of South Korean boyband EXO.[6] Shila revealed that she wants to produce at least one single in Korea in the near future. She is still considering appearances in other neighbouring countries such as Indonesia and Australia. To Shila, Skechers Sundown Festival would be a gauge whether she would do a major concert in Singapore.
