November Rain
Salam to all! Been receiving smses and emails asking and urging me to blog frequently. For those concerned, thank you very much and I will do my very best to update you on wat's going around me at present. So let me start by recapping the month of November.
Before I start, my greatest appreciation and deepest thanks to my families, friends, fans, musicians, Ria 897FM, Warna 942FM, Berita Harian, Sensasi and everyone involved directly and indirectly in my music adventure!
'Lelaki Baru' finally reached the summit of Ria Chartz and stayed at No 1 for 2 consecutive weeks. It is no longer the top dog but nevertheless still in the top 5 on 30 Nov 2008. It still feels like a dream come true...more of this

Thank you very much to everyone who requested 'Lelaki Baru'....the RIA 897FM DJs for promoting and playing the song...
Someone told me yesterday 'Lelaki Baru' is now playing on Warna 942FM....thanks, that's wonderful news!
Performed at 2 events. First was at Japanese Association for an event called 'COMPASS Musical Extravaganza' , which was jointly organised by both the Japanese Association & COMPASS. It was fun and enriching experience to be mingling with fellow musicians, songwriters from Singapore & Japan.
Second was a fundraising campaign ' Kami Peduli' which was held at Singapore Expo. Jointly organised by MegaXpress and Life Records, it featured a myriad of Singaporean artistes of various genres across various eras. It was to create a fund to assist a number of veteran artistes who are presently struggling with illnesses. Sang 'Lelaki Baru' for the 1st time 'live' and it felt good to finally performed it at last. The video is

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.
