Singing Interest

It's all start since I was a kid, 4 years old maybe ? I love to listen to music, if there's is no music to hear I will sing anything (don't have any idea what I was singing) just make up my own lyric, pendek kata music is my life, klishe tak?  ok the very first singer that I love is Michael Jackson, I was 3 or 4 (1993) on that time, my mom always turn the Black or White MV and I will sit down and concentrate. I still remember the video's quality compare to this day so different because back in the old days it was Video Tape quality but I got to admit kinda miss that quality .

Move on to 2004, I was in form 2 (SMK Bandar Tasik Selatan) I starting to like Anuar Zain's song (Mungkin) I really love the melody and the way Anuar Zain sing it. It was so nice because when Anuar Zain comeback with his Keabadian Cinta  it was kinda phenomena on that time but I never like his singing because in my opinion to much Shaking things ? (vibrato) kinda over to me yeah still in standard 6 on that time but I can see until today Anuar Zain change it, so I love he sings Mungkin, So it was zaman hit puberty so as a guy suara dah pecah, so no matter how high key suara seorang lelaki boleh sampai before baligh tapi once dah baligh, suara pecah and garau we have to start over because this is brand new voice we got so have to train the voice back. So when I hear Anuar Zain's voice and other Males singer too I'm curious on how can they naikkan key suara? So  everyday I sing mungkin but when part tinggi I change to Falsetto so ingatkan mcam itulah semua penyanyi buat. So it will be Mungkin and Semua Untukmu as my favourite in that time. But I'm not Anuar Zain's Fan.

After Anuar Zain I start to know about our No.1 Entertainer in history, Allahyarham Sudirman. Sangat kagum when I do lot of research about this extraordinary guy, His voice very powerful and my "first love" is Merisik Khabar, like my grandfather said, "No one can sing this song except him". To me If young people can't attract to his voice or music but to me Allahyarham is the no.1 dalam bab feeling dalam lagu just like Michael Jackson. His life also full with sad stories, how he love so much his ex-wife until he's gone. After his divorced daripada lagu ceria-ceira semua jadi lagu-lagu sedih, so Allahyarham also suara tinggi so I still don't get it how a guy change their voice? so I just continue to love this guy, to me he's a Gift from Allah to Malaysia. People just like his popular songs, unlike me I love lot of his songs yang tak berapa popular, like Jauh Di Sudut Hati (lirik sangat berharap), Kehadiranku (the piano was so Ermmm) and many more. So I keep on love his song and himself, until people around me pelik a guy age like me time tu semua gila lagu-lagu baru and lagu Indonesia slowly masuk Malaysia but I don't give a damn infact I start to love song from the late 70's until 80's. Until today I love Allahyarham Sudirman Hj Arshad. 

Pertengahan 2005 Malaysia dilanda TSUMAWI di mana at first I don't really like it because like lots of people said "apa yang best sangat suara dia biasa-biasa je". Then dalam masih mengkaji bagaimana lelaki boleh tinggikan key suara I just busy tiru suara Mawi just to prove that suara dia biasa-biasa sahaja and I also boleh tiru, but when Mawi tarik I have to struggle because I can't reach certain key of his voice. So tau kekuatan Mawi dalam lagu Seroja, Aduh Saliha and Nourel'ain. I found my voice start changing when I force to reach Mawi's hig key, and I try harder to make my voice sebijik like Mawi. Then I don't understand how can he tarik until suara nyaring (taranum al Quran) So awal 2006 titik permulaan I becoming Mawi's fan just because early 2006, DCL buat hari konvensyen at Istana Hotel, KL and Mawi artis jemputan and I got the chance to sing with him pasal dia nak volunteer peminat come on the stage sing wth him and I'm the only person yang hafal Lagu Jiwa Lagu Cinta (feat Mnasir) during that time lagu tu masih baru tak ramai yang tahu. But I stop minat Mawi julai 2006 because dia putus tunang and tak berapa suka a few things about him plus his voice getting worse if you here today compare his voice masa mula-mula Album Yang Tercinta.keluar dulu, but impact minat dia, saya mula dalami ilmu agama and al Quran. ( bukan tahap pakar ) . So overall I'm not his fan anymore.

Masa Mawi tengah naik at the same time Jamal Abdillah making his come back, and one of my friend have his album Aku Penghibur seriously Jamal Abdillah's voice is so powerful and his voice better than he was younger, and why is it people kaitkan Mawi ni seakan-akan Jamal? and ada yang kata pengganti Jamal? since I know a bit trick untuk tarik suara I continue train my voice by using his voice, his song, then I starting to wonder how can he do the intro for Ghazal Untuk Rabiah, (Yaaa Rabi..ah) So I said to myself if I can reach the key of that part it will help me to sing more songs because dah berjaya make my voice reach into a new level so I practice everyday, every hour for it. Until one day I did it and makes me happy and I start to challenge my voice how high I can go, at the same time that is when I start learning taranum al Quran join nasyid and automatically learn more about my religion Islam.

Fiq Mentor muncul since I was move to sepang, I got to know he admire Jamal Abdillah too and at the same time I feel like the only genre that suits me not about my voice but my character and who I want to be or look like on a stage is Rock. I realize Fiq's voice speisis suara Jamal Abdillah bila Jamal reach high key because range suara Jamal banyak, Suara Jamal kalau besar, besar betul, kalau tinggi, tinggi gila, Fiq pula sentiasa di key tinggi baru nampak kelebihan suara beliau. So I study Fiq's voice for quiet long and I never expect it will so hard for me to reach Tiga Malam Tanpa Bintang, sambil admire Fiq I started to take his Mentor Amy Search as my Rockstar Icon and also not to forget I always love rockers during the 80's pasal semua power-power, that includes Awie, Nash, Mus and many more. My mom don't like it when I start singing Rock songs,she keep saying Rock is not my thing. But I so stubborn I keep forcing to reach what I want even I'm not really sure what I was doing but still I love the way real Rockstar perform on a stage. 

So kejadian dia buka baju and kena gantung titik permulaan I start to admire this Rockstar, because ramai juga artis yang buat silap but yang tarik perhatian is the way dia minta maaf nampak sangat bersungguh-sungguh dan menyesal makes me feel want to be salah seorang yang support him and knows that he deserves a second chance pasal he truly talented. So Aku Punya Kamu and Sampai Syurga makes me really admire this guy. So FT buatkan ternanti-nanti comeback beliau di AJL, (sampai syurga and cuba), same goes to AIM beliau buat gimik terbang and yes at first I was trying so hard to copy Faizal's voice but it was not as hard as I thought because before this penyanyi saya admire saya memang akan bermula dengan tiru suara penyanyi asal, if you tiru suara yang jauh daripada you memang takes time maybe years but I don't know why when it comes to Faizal, I can say a bit easy, then I study about my real voice with Cikgu Shafi and she said, It is because my real voice kinda close with Faizal Tahir. But overall I know my voice tak sama pun, tak sedap macam FT because masih banyak sumbang but yeah Faizal Tahir paling lama "melekat" to my singing and paling berpengaruh. Pasal minat Faizal, banyak benda baru saya belajar like know what is good musics are, legend-legend in music, and I learn how to play guitar. I think Faizal Tahir is the only artis paling lama orang\ pandag saya dengan minat saya terhadap seseorang, it since I was form 5 until this very momment.

Since I start to love ROCK music, It makes me admire seorang lagi penggiat seni iaitu Azlan (ATT) kerana dengar Lagu Untukmu siapa boleh nafikan how powerful this guy's voice ? Memang kena pulak dulu minat Fiq suara-suara boleh tarik until suara kecil and nyaring and this guy was a whole new level, gitaris "goreng" gitar and Azlan someone yang boleh "goreng" suara dia yang tinggi gunakan energy yang entah mana dia dapat, so ada certain of my friend kalau dengar saya nyanyi suka saya nyanyi lagu-lagu Azlan termasuk lah lagu time dia dengan Meet Uncle Hussain, kalau berkaraoke a few of my friend sengaja pilihkan lagu for me and I always been force to sing Azlan's song. Took me almost a year to sing Lagu Untukmu perfectly.

Selain Azlan ofcoz ramai tahu betapa sharp and tingginya suara Aweera, saya tak pernah kenal Mojo pada awalnya, sebaliknya saya memang minat Aweera semenjak dia mula-mula masuk OIAM memang my perhatian dekat Aweera, so mula-mula dengar Andaiku Bercinta Lagi di radio terus macam, Who is this guy ? tingginya suara, reminds me one of OIAM contestant and my friend cakap "ini Mojo la bukan Aweera" then I look up on the internet, It's true Aweera is Mojo's Vokalis. Until today I work hard to reach the part yang Aweera tarik part last tu, It's almost impossible for me but I know ada trick for this kind of voice, until today I still work hard to reach it.
