A Good Distraction
Last Sunday was the 2nd round auditions for Anugerah Band. Ramainya orang....it made for a great atmosphere though. From a total of 68 bands, it was cut down to a final 20 bands for the tv show which will be televised in May.
Our band, 40 CM did not make the cut though. Performing our own original song, it felt good doing our own thing on stage....though I must concede it wasn't one of my best days on vocals. Must admit, my vocals was pitchy on the day.
Really tired....tak dapat amik leave...keje malam the day before.....so dapat tido2 ayam jer......and as most of you would noe, a good rest is key to a good vocal performance.
Tapi tu suma tolak tepi...yang penting we've given our best shot. So now I guess I'll be back to practising and recording my full album lah. Anugerah Band was a good distraction.
Must say that a few bands in Top 20 caught my eye.
'X-Tech', if I'm not mistaken was the Ria Remix 1st ever champs, showed their experience and was great to watch.
There was also a band called 'Virus Cinta' with a female on the vox. I think they have excellent image and musicianship.
Ultimately, this competition was an eye-opener, in good and bad ways.......and a wonderful experience overall. Made new friends and reminisce wif old ones.
Cheers!

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.
