2 Months & Counting
It's been a near 2 full months since my EP album 'Keagungan Mu' is out in the market. The album was my platform to introduce and showcase my singing & songwriting, in hopes of planting my feet firmly into the music industry.
I am on course to selling all my limited print copies of this EP album. I believe it could happen by the end of 2007, Insyaallah.
Someone asked me why do limited print copies of this album? Why don't I do a reprint and focus on promoting this album for at least the next year?
My answers to that is simple: As a singer-songwriter, I need to keep seeking avenues to progress. To be contented with an EP album that I had done with limited resources and experience would stagnate me. I have been enriched by this whole experience and I am pretty sure that I'll be able to do better the next time round.
Anyway, come December 2007, I'll be back in the studio to record my 2nd project....my 1st full album. Already started working on the materials, compiling songs, finalising the arrangements.
This full album will contain 14 songs:- 10 new ones and 4 songs from my EP. With this album, planned for release 2nd half of 2008, I'm hoping to be able to distribute in Malaysia as well.

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.
