Ahmad Zamil bin Mohd Idris or Zamil Idris (born 23 April 1978 in Kuala Lumpur) is a Malaysian singer, television host, master of ceremonies, voice talent and actor.
Zamil was voted out on 5 September 2004 during the Rock Show after delivering his rendition of Hoobastank’s “The Reason”. He was eliminated for getting the lowest votes during The Rock Show. His “The Reason” was criticised by all three judges, although many viewers thought he did a decent performance compared to the other finalists. Many viewed that Zamil should have sung one of the classic rock numbers. He came seventh in the show.
The first season of Malaysian Idol in 2004 was touted as the most talked about talent competition in Malaysia. Zamil, who was a bank officer at the time, was urged by his friends and colleagues to go for the audition. The audition took place at Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur with more than 10,000 hopefuls. Zamil sang “The Prayer” by Andrea Bocelli and wowed all three judges Roslan Aziz, Fauziah Latiff and Paul Moss, which led him to be in Top 120 and eventually to Top 33.
Zamil is best known as the Season 1 finalist of the popular Malaysian reality talent show, Malaysian Idol in 2004.
Zamil’s father, who was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2005, died in May 2006.
In 2005, Zamil was chosen to appear in a TV Commercial by PLUS to promote their Touch-N-Go Card and Smart Tag campaign. In the commercial, he was paired with Malaysian Idol judge Roslan Aziz and drove a Lotus Elise racing on the highway against Roslan.

After Malaysian Idol, in 2005, Zamil was approached to audition as a talkshow host for Hello On Two, a ‘live’ English talkshow on RTM. Zamil was shortlisted and eventually chosen as one of the hosts. Zamil is currently hosting the show, marking his ninth year as a TV host of the program.

In 2007, Zamil was cast as one of the seven main characters in a musical stage production called TUNKU The Musical at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPAC). Starring Tony Eusoff, Douglas Lim, Syuk Ibrahim, Zamil Idris, Doreen Tang, Evelyn Toh and Maria Yasmin, the musical has over 20 original compositions. Spoken dialogue is kept to a minimum as the thrust and dramatic flow of the play is expressed in song, dance and historical footage. The music is played live, on stage, by an estimated 25 piece orchestra. This is Zamil’s debut as a stage actor. In TUNKU The Musical, Zamil plays Malik, the 20-year-old son of Syed (Tony Eusoff), an aide to Tunku Abdul Rahman. About to go abroad (to England) for his tertiary studies, Malik falls in love with 17-year-old Fauzia (Doreen Tang), a Chinese girl adopted by a Malay family. The music and lyrics for Tunku the Musical are written by Lim Chuang Yik and Teng Ky-Gan (who also did the score for the previous year’s musical called Broken Bridges) while the musical director for TUNKU is Mervyn Peters. The play is directed by Joe Hasham.
