Career

In 2006, Bennet competed on the first season of the singing reality show Sirasa Superstar. Mihiranga came in fifth place in the competition despite being the most popular contestant throughout the show. He sang mostly songs by Rookantha Gunathilake, including "Suwanda Dena Mal Waney", "Nihanda Mawathey", "Mama Ehewwa Horen", and "As-Deka Piyana".^[8]

Shortly after finishing the competition in 2006, he released his first album, Dreams of Shihan. He composed all of the music and lyrics on the album himself. The album won the Most Popular Album award. In 2008, he released his second album, Dreamz 2 – My Life, which includes lyrics and music composed by other musicians.

Shihan released his first music video, "Ada Thaniyen Maa" which was a great hit in Sri Lanka. Later, it won the most popular music video award at the Derana Music Video Awards in 2007. He is also a playback singer who has lent his voice to many films, including Suwanda Danuna Jeewithe. His songs from that film, "Perada Mewu Sina", "Ron Suwanda Dena", and "Sith Mal Hegum Popiyana Yame" became very popular. He did playback singing on the song "Raya Pibidee" in the movie Super Six.

In Sirasa Superstar season four, which was renamed Generation 4, Bennet hosted the program alongside Nirosha Perera. He also sang the theme song, "Yawwane Sihina Yata Daelwune" for the competition.

In 2013, Bennet became a judge on Sirasa Super Star season 5.
