A Day @ Mediacorp
I had arranged for this day for a meeting with Ria 89.7 FM boss, Hassan Salleh. The purpose was the submission of my single "Taman Cinta" for airplay. My first time meeting Abg Hassan was thru my participation in Akademi Radio in March 2007 and subsequently met him again at my Expo performance in April 2007. Since then , I stayed in touch with him and he had been kind enough to accord words of encouragement and support to me. So I was kind of relishing the meeting and probably having casual talk with the man.
My meeting was scheduled at 4pm. Picked up my copies of CDs printed at Bt Merah and I kinda liked the final product. From Bt Merah to Mediacorp, I was experiencing mixed feelings. Was actually thinking how the guys @ Ria & Warna would perceive my product. Hoping for the best!!
Upon my arrival @ Mediacorp, I immediately proceeded to Ria's office. A warm welcome from Hassan Salleh and the DJs at the office namely KC, Nity and Brader Bo, I then dished out my CDs personally to the guys. Then Abg Hassan, Brader Bo and myself converse on the subject of my upcoming plans and album. When Abg Hassan popped the CD into his player, I must say I was scared as hell. As much as I am proud of my product, I was expecting the worst possible scenario. But after playing the CD, I guess they were OK with it.
After passing my CDs to some DJs at Warna, I then took my leave. On my way home, I kind of reflected on my paths and choices I have taken to that present moment. I'm still pinching myself because as much as I believed in myself, I could never believe it that I'm actually sending my songs for airplay on radio. What was once just a far-fetched dream was slowly manifesting in real-time.
I felt really blessed to be able to do what I'm doing! Alhamdullillah

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.
