My Debut Album Part 1
Give me a hell yeah!! My dream of producing my own album is still on. Sure it's hard work but the experiences - the achievements and the mistakes - were well worth it. Picked up valuable lessons and pointers along the way. Still dreaming and looking forward to the day when I'm holding a copy of my debut album in my hands. I guess I'll be a proud man and will be grinning from ear to ear when the time finally comes. Hahaha...
I've finished recording the tracks for all the songs in my upcoming album except for one. All's left now is for my vocal recordings followed by the mixing and mastering process. I haven't done very well for my previous vocal takes. So many reasons for that though...lack of practice, mic settings wasn't right for my vocal delivery.....maybe I'm just feeling insecure all of a sudden. I'll admit that I'm not wat u would call a technically gifted singer but I believe I've got great feel. Somehow, I just gotta do it.....instill more confidence in myself....let it all out!
I've targeted the 1st week of July to be the period when my first single - 1st song of my upcoming debut album - will be up for airplay. Still a target for now but I'm still in with a chance of making it a reality. Entitled "Taman Cinta" (Garden of Love), it is a song about love and redemption.....2nd chances.....how true love elevates you to a better position...makes you a better person. Hope you guys will enjoy the song very soon!

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.
