A Day For Satay

I had another performance yesterday. This time it was for a birthday bash held for Anjung Aksara's pioneer member Zul (Medic). The venue was King Satay down at Clarke Quay. For those who don't know where it's at, Ministry of Sound (MOS) is just beside it. But man, I was lost upon reaching Clarke Quay....it's been ages since I last set foot there. Great place if you are looking for a night of fun. Anyway, it was a fun day getting to know members of my extended family. I sang 3 songs:- 'Keagunganmu' , 'Mawar Merah' & 'Taman Cinta'. Felt good to be performing again after a short break. I had Rafiz to accompany me on guitars onstage. I'm considering the place to do my album launch. The place has a nice layout and a laidback ambience to boot. Hmm...pending for now. To bro Zul (Medic)...happy birthday once again. Thanks for evrything you've done for me. Best wishes for your future!

His Road Trip

In August 2006, a subconscious decision to be involve in a singing competition proved to be the catalyst for a life-changing event in his life. Zai was offered a recording deal that fell through.

For more than eight months, this shy and taciturn amateur musician embarked on a journey of self-discovery and learning: to write, produce and sing, in his debut mini album “KeagunganMu” which was released on 1st September 2007.

A chance encounter with Yazri (Merah) a couple of months later was another turning point in his short music career. Together, they produced a radio single entitled “Lelaki Baru” which debuted on Ria 897FM on 1st September 2008. “Lelaki Baru” was a success and Zai achieved his 1st ever No 1 hit.

Z'Baks Bio

Zaibaktian is devoted to his family and friends first in his life. “One of the most important things that my family and friends has taught me is the value of love,” he says. In his music adventure, Zai explores love as it relates to the most important facets of his life: Family, friendship and faith.

“I started from scratch,” he says, “And the most valuable experience in that is being able to consult musicians with abilities that far surpassed my own to guide me in my music journey.”

On love & life being the major driving force for his music pursuits, Zai aspire to inspire:

“In life, love exist – between God and His creations, for a man and a woman, parents and children, and even between friends,” says Zai. “It is a powerful force, not for its own sake but for how it moves the people who love and the people who are loved.” For Zaibaktian, his music adventure thus far is the fulfillment of a dream and a definite breakthrough in achieving a lifelong dream.
