AnugeraHitz.sg
I have to say that it's an honour to be nominated as one of the five nominees in the "Best New Artiste" category in AnugeraHitz.sg.....will be fighting it out with Hyrul Anuar, Maiya Rahman, Sarah Aqilah & Shahril Bahri.
Frankly, i do think i deserve to be nominated for the hardwork and sacrifices i've put into my music these last few years. I've been asked numerous times about my chances of winning. As mentioned in the New Paper on Friday 2nd March, i've been touted as hot favourite to win this category.
To be nominated is already a good recognition for me. I think not many knew that I've always been fighting many challenges in my music journey. Never did i envision that i will somehow be able to cross over to the mainstream and be appearing on tv someday and somehow i managed that...alhamdulillah
When i started my music adventure back in 2007, 2 factors was always being mentioned:
- Age
- Image
These 2 factors had always been against me from the very start. Age for example....i look around and i don't see anyone in my age bracket (30-34) being visible in the music industry.....as part of a band, yes....but none as solo acts.....
I've mentioned to friends that if the judging criterias are based on achievements and consistency, i think i deserve to win....but if it's based on image, looks and prospects, then it should go to either Sarah or Hyrul.
Not winning this award would not put a stop to my music journey though, insyaAllah. Like i mentioned before in this blog, i have a 5 year plan to succeed in music. I have 2 years left to go and I hope to leave something great at the end of my 5 years in music.
Nonetheless, i hope my nomination would serve as an inspiration for anyone wishing to pursue a music dream as an independent artiste...if I can do it......so can YOU!! :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all who have been in my music adventure one way or another....you're loved!!
BAIK SKALI!!

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.
