Soul music is good music

I ve never felt wanting to blog so much in my life like tonight. This feeling i had right now has left me no option but to write. Its very late at night or perhaps i could say morning, tapi aku masih gagahkan diri juga utk menulis. Somehow rather i need to share it, eventhough at this ungodly hour nobody is awake except me.

I might not have shared you wit guys on the latest showcase I produced. Yes I produced one last week, and apparently i did another one yesterday. I didnt brag so much about it worried that it might be just an ordinary event. Mana taknya, event semalam lebih besar daripada showcase yg pernah aku buat selama ini. It involves some big name such as Sabhi Sadhi, Amirul Jafril and Fatin Syazanna. But unfortunately due to time constraint and my tight schedule producing the earlier event, it leaves me less time to really promote this event. If im not mistaken i only have around 5 days to execute everything. There are however a few press and media covered but still, with such name, complete 4 piece musician, backing vocals, design, studio time, there was too much pressure placed on me in term of the profit and crowd's acceptance.

Let me remind you that not just produce, i was the executive producer as well. Meaning to say niat yang mula-mula hanya ingin membantu para penggiat music utk berkarya, sudah menjadi lebih berat bebannya kerana semua kos ditanggung sendiri oleh aku. I forked out my own money to organise such show including the musicians and BV, the studio rehearsal, the crew and the designers, promotions and printing, and duit upah gaji utk sesiapa yang membantu. Yes im the performing producer. tapi itu belum cukup gila lagi. The most gila part was I did by myself.

It was a one man show. Everything was planned by me. This includes the idea, locking up artiste and scheduling, hooking up with the place, deals, providing musician, promotion from designing (courtesy of Eizani) to hanging the banner, ushering the crowd, monitoring front desk and sales and loads more. I was at the place for soundcheck and until almost half the show, i was still busy organizing it. For those who came, you would notice how menggelabah i was trying to accomodate to the event's need. But it was good at the end of the day. Why?

It was a blast. I truly enjoyed performing last night. After singing all this year, I didnt remember how happy i was being on stage. My performance was top notch (puji diri sendiri, lantak akulah nie blog aku), and the energy that came from the BV and musicians are equally good otherwise perfect. I ve done so many stage performances, but last night was something that will always be remembered. The connection between me and the BV and musicians was unbelievalable. I couldnt express how secure i was singing with them. TQ korang !!!

I had good feedbacks from people who came. Some of them said it was really worth it, that RM 35 is too cheap for that outstanding performance. The musicians played well, tight and blend with the BV. And i can proudly say that there are no BV's like 'HARMONISME'. They got soul. So tq again for those who came. And tq to all the performers/musicians. You guys have been a terrific partner to work with. Looking forward to working with you guys in the future.

And for those who missed, is it early to say, there will be a second time? :)
