Poetry In Motion..

Did an opening performance on the 12th of January 2008. It was for a poetry event entitled 'Antara Eja Dan Lafaz' held at Bedok Library. Sang 2 songs: 'Keagungan Mu' & 'Dunia Yang Fana'. It was my first time singing in a poetry showcase and naturally I was feeling nervous. The audience was mainly made up by poetry enthusiasts and NUS students studying Sastera. Anyway, after the performance, sat down as the guests for the day, comprising of Rafaat Hamzah, Isa Kamari etc. Discussed about poetry in general and Rafaat's newly launched book ' Yang Bilang'. I must say the discussion was interesting. I've never attended anything involving poetry, theatre and such. I must say it was a pleasant surprise to discover something new. Looking forward to discovering more things in the coming months.

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.
