My First Time...
We all remember our first time doing something, don't we? The first time isn't always great...but more often tha not, it will leave you scarred or maybe the moment might have a special place in your heart forever.
I already had a couple of 'virgin' moments during my music adventure. Yesterday, I had another one. For the very 1st time yesterday, I performed unlike my usual performance. This time, I do not have my sessionists backing me up. I just felt that it wasn't right to engage them during this hari raya period.
So I took to the stage for my performance at Changi-Simei Hari Raya show equipped with only a minus one CD containing 2 songs 'Pesona Rindu' & 'Keagungan Mu'. I had performed previously alone during my singing competition days but not since I had taken the decision to cut an album.
It felt strange during the pre-show as I wasn't indulging in casual banter with my sessionists but I guess me performing by myself will be more often than not in the coming times. One problem is having to seek the commitments of the sessionists backing me up at every show I'm performing. Of course, given a choice I would love to have my musician brothers involved in my shows, backing me up but I do need to have my minus one cds ready if all else fail.
Anyway, it was a show for me! Love it! Personally I feel that I have improved myself greatly on the subject of stage showmanship. Used to be under a great amount of stress communicating with the audience but slowly and surely, I'm getting to grips with it. More to leran though and I'll keep learning.
Anyway, the show at Changi- Simei CC....the very first time I had 'makciks' and 'pakciks' dancing to the tune of my song. Lovely indeed....

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.
