Slm,
Before i proceed i would like to introduce myself, Andy representing my fella brothers of Infinatez. Of all the people in the world, we have selected a few people 10-15 of you guys that is close to our heart to help us out to promote our songs. You guys can be our friends during schools, college time, colleagues, leisure friends or even family members. At this point im writing my heart out seikhlas-ikhlasnya so that i can convey the message, so that you all faham apa plan I and the system im creating now. Welcome again, selamat berjuang!!!
Sepertimana yg you tau Infinatez sudahpun mereleasekan our single which is called 'Paparazzi' and 'Ada Masa'. Paparazzi was pretty much our idea sebab we did it during P Ramlee because we played the 'media/reporters' role. And we did a version with Cat Farish just to relate it with papa jahat at the same time. It is an English Rn'B song and for ya'll Rn'B listeners out there, you would love it. Alhamdulillah, we received loads of good feedbacks and the song put dah masuk carta, masuk compilation and banyak lagi. But at the same time i did some research on how to improve things moreover we are now an independant artiste (MERDEKA). By being independant the only way we could survive is to to come out with our own method and not to follow the traditional ways of promoting songs. For instance, we used to send our songs and promote it to each and every single radio stations but now we would only focus on one radio and make it top. Kemudian radio lain. Of course i have come out with several other plans and the one im asking of you is an ONLINE based
Mudah saja. We are now focusing on 'Ada Masa' and the only radio station that is playing our song is Era (Radio No1# Malaysia). Alhamdulillah, lagu nie kerap diputarkan tapi there is this carta C30 setiap hari dari Isnin - Jumaat yang akan menentukan populariti sesebuah lagu. And it also will determined our rank dalam Carta Era setiap hujung minggu. So my plan is simple. We need more votes and how its gonna be done is :
1) Educating people bout this song (handled by Alvin)
- mouth to mouth promotion
- network community such as Friendster, MySpace and Facebook
- blogging
2) INF online agent (handled by me)
- you guys the selected ones to vote everyday (isnin hingga jumaat)
- loyal and constant voters
Just imagine sebanyak mana pun vote daripada method satu, Infinatez tau at the end of the day we have votes coming in from you guys which falls under the second method. Then bila banyak vote, dari method 2, lagu akan makin kerap diputarkan seterusnya akan membanyakkan lagi voters from method satu. So bila banyak vote lagu pun naik. How do you guys do that. Lagi senang
1) Register di http://www.era.fm/ ( I bet i dont need to tell you how to brief. Do take note most of you guys are IT literate. hehe )
2) Lepas register masuk PROGRAM ------- Click on C30 (make sure to use Internet Explorer not some other browser such as Mozilla)
3) Pick 10 songs
* my suggestion is to pick international artiste or the one less known to the mass public (kalau pilih lagu yg top susahlah Infinatez nak kejar)
* not songs from KRU...dont ask
* of course Ada Masa....hehe....:)
4) Come out with your own slogan
Thats it. As simple as that. Personally, I really hope by coming out with this simple yet workable plan would help us to push our song. My plan is simple, one vote a day for a month (22 days tolak weekend) would definitely make loads of different to our music. It is not vote via sms and vote online utk carta C30 doesnt require you to sit in front of pc for hours pun. Then i would listen and do my own research based on the song's progress in the chart itself. Ini hanya sekadar bantuan ikhlas drpd korang. I tak boleh balas usaha korang tapi I need you to understand that semua yg you buat, kami sangat hargai. Thats the reason why I wrote this at the first place so that you boleh baca, dan Infinatez jadi lebih dekat dgn korang.We get inspired by people like you guys, yg support kitorang. and we truly know that there is always a place for music.
Till then, terima kasih dari hati.......ONE VOTE A DAY !!!

Impak Maksima The Musical
Semalam aku pergi menjenguk tayangan perdana 'Impak Maksima' the musical. I was excited and thrilled to watch the show mainly because my baby sister is taking part in it, because most of the time dia tengok aku perform so that day aku duduk and dia plak perform. Best plak rasanya. Second is partly because i wanna rest and really enjoy the show since i've been busy with work lately. Bolehlah aku berehat sambil menikmati tarian anak2 gadis yg menggiurkan. Hehe. So aku tekad memang nak pergi walaupun terpaksa pergi sorang
Right before the show started i had some level of expectations from them. Being a performer plus a two season experience with Enfiniti (PGL and P Ramlee) has given me a different perspective towards arts. I love performing and the satisfaction i get from it is purely ecstasy. But the experience of watching a show is another thing. During my time i had to slowly sneaked out to the backdoor just to get a 20 mins glimpse of how the show is like. So this time aku datang memang nak enjoy dan tengok puas2 teater tu. And from the promotion itself i was rest assured that this could be another musical hit, adding the urban lifestyle to their story plot. And drift on stage. Mindblowing i could not even imagine..
Infinatez was suppose to join the musical as well. But due to some misunderstanding, we backed off. So does Awal, Ju and Pedd from Fabulous Catz
10 mins lepas show start, aku dah tak tau apa yg aku tengok. I felt like i wasted 2 hours of my life and pretty much asking myself 'bilalah nak habis'. Well i was hoping for a fantastic show or atleast yg okaylahkan so that atleast i could share with you guys about my experience that night but it turned out to be HORRIBLE with all capital letters. At the start of the scene CD jump (scratch) meaning to say they were using CD no live bands, then the singing was all purely miming that is entirely defeats the purpose of having a musical where certainly music cant be compromised. The lighting was all over the place aku tak tau sapa yg bercakap. The set and stage was completely empty. And throughout the show memang tak dengar sbb sound system tak bagus. Dan setakat kereta tu drift pusing2 situ doesnt really impress me. Because honestly aku tak paham cerita and the story line sucks big time. Aku tak tau bila dia race, bila dia bercinta and paling kelakar time main cast mati which supposed to be a sad scene, turned out the audience gelakkan pelakon. Punyalah tak sampai karektor masing2 masing...:(
One good thing about the show was the dance. Most of the people yg terlibat pun kawan2 aku jugak such as Cat, Adeep TFC, Dina MI, Floor Fever (Abone, Bojae, Diha), Nita and budak2 Istana Budaya (Leslie and Bella) so supportlah. Im proud watching them performed and enjoyed their time on stage. I was entertained by their dancing and choreography especially Abone and Bojae. Memang stylo. Korang sajalah sebab aku datang and tengok sampai habis...
So balik tu aku lepak ngan some of my close friends sejak kecik. We were sharing things. Atleast malam tu i learned new things. If we cant do something, if we are not able to execute it nicely, if we cant afford to put a good show, dont do. Nak buat benda biar betul2 and do research. Jangan pilih orang yang tak betul. Work with the right people. People who knows what to do. Good night everybody

Those Who Believe Records And Publishing
Its a publishing company head by me, Benign and Alvin
Tugas kitorang adalah menjaga hakcipta lagu, penulis lagu (composer) serta lyricist sesebuah karya tersebut. Setiap karya dihasilkan seharusnya ada publisher tak kisahlah lagu ke apa ke. Novel pun ader publisher dia sendiri. And its our job to protect the rights of that song. Kitorang akan naik turun MACP, pengagihan royalti, do our own administration in fact promote the songs that is published under us. Since the trend nowdays are all DIY product that means we have our counterparts atau dalam kata lain our own own people to do things such as artiste management, production house, photoshoot and designing, PR, radio and tv station and digital download....ha...there you go. You kill not only 1 or 2 birds but countless of em' with one stone...
Sapa ada lagu, atau yg nak keluar lagu, publish under us. PM me and will explain what are the things and services we could provide.
Cheers :)

One Man Show
Aku rasa this 3 weeks have been a hectic week for me. Nak kata show banyak giler takdelah juga tapi bolehlah. Bulan puasa hari tu startlah kemarau show. So baru aku tau camana artis selama nie survive bila Ramadhan. Tapi skang nie slowly tgh open reservation and booking for performance. Antara yg latest kitorang buat dekat Puchong for an event for U Mobile. Then few days back we were performing at Sunway for this one event. 'Program keamanan dunia' something like that and Luscious pun ader sekali. Lepas tu kitorang lepak
Then di samping my daily job im currently busy with my client. Alhamdulillah rezeki pun dah semakin bertambah. Ramai jugak yg nak lagu aku nie ye. hehehe :) Last week 4 hari straight aku dekat studio. satu client male solo satu lagi RnB group. Then tengah prepare some material jugak for some other artiste yg nak lagu aku. Tapi biasalah kena pelan-pelan sebab aku nie 'one man show'. Akulah compose, akulah produce, akulah arrange pendek kata semuanya akulah. So atleast boleh belajar banyak benda cuma progressnya agak perlahan.
Dalam masa terdekat nie plak Infinatez akan masuk studio utk proses rakaman. Kitorang juga tengah mengumpul material so sesiapa yg ada bolehlah kasi kitorang dengar manatau tersangkut ke. Buat masa nie selain nak focus on production, each of us tengah figure out macam mana nak promote our songs. Well i made a few phone calls to the dj's all around Malaysia. InsyaALLAH, doakan kitorang berjaya
'one man show' = adakah ini petanda awal aku patut bukak 'production house' aku sendiri? Hmmm.....

Nasihat Doctor
I ve not been writing for a while. Told cha i hate writing. I only write when i feel like, which means hmm, when i have nothing else to do in this world. Tapi ader a few incidents semenjak kebelakangan nie yg membuatkan aku rasa aku harus berkongsi, atau remind kalian....
Kita sering dikejutkan dengan kes yg bersangkut paut pasal pembunuhan. Rogal ke, ragut ke, rompak ke, at the end of the day it still goes back to people dying. waktu bulan puasa dulu ada kes bunuh dekat Shah Alam waktu keluarga mangsa tengah sibuk nak sahur. Kejadian nie aku rasa bermotifkan rompakan tapi bila polis dah masuk campur, negotiator dah masuk campur, it ended with anak2 yg patah tulang belakang, dan ibu yg mati. Tembak menembak pun berlaku dan confirm si lakhnat tu mati. Aku sgt bersimpati apatah lagi mangsa adalah kawan ibu. Dan waktu raya dekat kampung aku terbaca kisah suami isteri yg mati kena pukul dengan anak2 sendiri, sebab diorang percaya utk buang sakit dan therapy yg diorang guna ialah PUKUL sampai lauk. Mungkin dah steam pukul mak ayah sampai tak perasan yg mak ayah dah mati. Then last week, Ruzana Luscious (bukan nama sebenar) berkongsi mengenai kejadian yang menimpa penyanyi kegemaran aku, Jennifer Hudson. Both her brother and mommy passed away sbb diorang kena tembak right in front of their house. Anak buah dia plak dilarikan dan sampai sekarang tak jumpa-jumpa. Last week, my colleague in Afghanistan got killed. Both of them was gunned down...what is wrong in this mother earth?
Apa yg aku nak remind korang supaya berhati2 bukan sahaja di jalan raya tapi di mana anda berada. It sound funny aint it. But yeah jaga diri korang elok elok. Tanah melayu kita nie dah bukan macam dulu. We lead a life just like how the US citizens are. KL dah macam New York. Apa yg aku cerita tu sikit saja tapi kalau korang selalu bukak news, selalu bukak Metro (suratkhabar yg suka bercerita pasal kematian the first 10 pages) you would know that we are not that safe. Risiko nak kena rompak tu memang selalu ada. Teringat plak zaman aku duduk di Ampang dulu. Ya ampun takut dia tak payah nak cerita, memang tempat tu tempat jenayah. I wonder how i survived. Dan jaga keluarga anda. Keep an eye on your mother, sisters, gf or even your colleague. Wanita terutamanya. Jangan biarkan diorang jalan sorang2. Teman diorang sampai ke kereta. Bagitau diorang not to walk alone in the night. Sayangkan diorang dan selalu pesan kat diorang supaya jaga diri. Biat pedih telinga tapi selalu beringat. Simpang malaikat kalau apa2 jadi dgn ahli keluarga kita....Ya ALLAH jauhkan itu semua...
Aku inginkan satu kehidupan yg aman. Bukan sahaja kehidupan aku malah kehidupan semua orang yg aku kenal mahupun tidak. Hidup yg tak perlu rasa marah, dendam, benci. Hidup yg takde rasa takut. God bless
