My 2 Songs' Worth!!
Did my vocal recordings for 2 songs today. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by my performances today......did enjoy myself thru the process. Upon reaching home, listened again and again to the rough studio mixes and I must say it's a job well done. Happy with the recordings!
I would love to relate to everyone about the stories and messages in my songs. Finding it hard though. But I'll try my best to describe and summarise them to you ppl.
The first song is entitled "Mawar Merah" (Red Roses). A song about unrequited love. How someone goes thru the pain and suffering to acquire a gift (in this case, a red rose as a metaphor) for his love....only to find out soon enough .....that the woman he crave was not meant to be his. And all he had left was the red rose as a companion. He was faced with a dilemma....Should he hold on to the rose and keep it as a memento of his unrequited love......or should he throw it away and forget about the whole thing...
The second song "Destinasi Impian" (Dream Destination) meant a whole lot to me. It's the song I first penned down as a 'war' anthem....the sort of song which I could always refer to for motivation in embarking on my music journey. The words in the song reflects accurately what I think and how I felt in trying to achieve my dreams. A song of hope and dreams....hope you could use the song as your source of motivation as well to reach the destination that you dream of!!

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.
