I have been procrastinating on the idea of an MTV for 'Lelaki Baru' for a long while now. With the help Aiz and Zul, we did try to put together a proper MTV at the end of 2008 but due to some technicalities, i will have to postpone that MTV to a later date Insya'allah :)
Yazri, the songwriter of 'LB' (Lelaki Baru) had mooted the idea of a youtube mtv ever since the song's been released and now it has come to fruition. Hehe...
After an impromptu jam session at Fourtones, we sat down and set a day for the shooting of the music video. The day came....put all the amps and stuff into the back of Amin's Suzuki APV....and off we go. Other than Amin on guitars, the cast would be Izam on bass and Amer on drums and Yazri is the Tuan Director. Fetched them all and off we went to Marina then Mt Faber to shoot all the necessary scenes.
Since Yazri was working later at night, we had to rush. Enduring the sun...the rain...the sun again, we managed to had it all wrapped up in 2 hrs. So after 2 days of editing, Yazri had finally posted this video on Facebook and Youtube.
Everyone involved were delighted for the final outcome!! So once again thanks so much to Yazri, Amin, Amer and Izam for a job well done!! Kudos to you bros!!
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.
