Last Hari Raya Show Of 2007.
I'm on reservist this week. Reminisce with old buddies and made new friends. It was fun though I had a hard time enduring these office hour sessions. Been working shifts for a long time now and every time i need to do an office hour assignment, it does feel like...damn!
One of those new friends was Zainal, previously of 2D fame. He shared with me his experiences in the music industry and it was really great talking music with him.
Anyway , I'm scheduled to perform in a Hari Raya Show on the coming 10th of November organised by Kg Chai Chee CC. Have not practised for quite some time now but originally slated to sing 2 songs. Keagungan Mu (my own song) and a Hari Raya song, one of my favs, Seri Hari Raya by Sweet Charity. Will have to schedule 2-3 practice sessions before the day itself.
This is my last scheduled performance. So far, I got no plans or bookings for other performances. But I guess it will allow me more time to concentrate on my other projects coming up such as the recording of my full album and ongoing promotion for my EP...

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.
