Performance at Kg Melayu on the 14th of September 2007
I should have written this review of my performance last week but due to time and work constraints, I had to postpone this posting.
Anyway let me start by sharing with you guys how it all started!
I received a call from Mr Ali from Anggrik Promotions during the 1st week prior to my album launch. It was a pleasant surprise as he invited me to perform at Kg Melayu so as to promote my latest release.
As usual, called up my band of musicians' brothers to inform them of the upcoming gig. So to cut the story short, everyone is raring to go!
So there we were on the 14th of September 2007 shortly after breaking fast in the month of Ramadhan. A few soundchecks later, we were all set to perform.
We performed a 1 hour set that day. Sang all 6 songs of my album, 2 cover songs - Ku Ukir Namamu from Lovehunters & Kamelia from Sweet Charity, and 1 song which will be featured in my next upcoming album entitled 'Mana-mana'.
It was pretty tough for me personally to perform this 1 hour set. One reason would by apparent lack of vocal stamina. I really need to engage on a physical regime, i guess...hehe, to overcome this problem. The second reason would be the lack of preparation to perform this mini-showcase. But i'm pretty sure with time,experience and the drive to learn would help me a better performer the next time round.
Overall, I am delighted with the opportunity to engage new listeners. As usual, my favourite set of people are in the crowd, cheering and singing in their best voices and supporting me througout the show. A wonderful experience!!
Cheers to Anggrik Promotions for their great effort to hold this showcase for our own local Singaporean artistes. To my favourite set of people (I do hope you know who you are...if you don't....ask me personally and i won't bite).....thanks for the constant support and encouragement!!! You guys are the reasons I'll be doing this now and in the near future!!
Thanks to the people who bought the album that day!! Hope you will like the songs in my album!!

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.
