First time jumpa Zee Avi dulu di San Francisco (dan cerita van rosak)

April 16, 2021 by azsamadlessons Leave a Comment

Gambar dari show Zee Avi di San Francisco sempena Noise Pop, 2010. Ni kali kedua saya tengok Zee Avi perform di SF.

Dulu saya tinggal kat San Francisco.

To be exact, saya kat Berkeley, California.

Itu kira on the other side of the Bay Bridge (bukan Golden Gate Bridge yang selalu dalam filem Hollywood tu).

Anyway, saya baru join Twitter pada hari tu.

Dan saya follow tweet Zee Avi.

Dia on tour & akan buat show di SF.

Ni first time dia touring di US – zaman Honeybee, Kantoi – masa first album dia dengan label Jack Johnson around Mei 2009.

Sebelum tu saya dengar orang cakap pasal Twitter, tapi saya tak join.

Hari tu sebab my future manager cakap join & my dad I think tanya pasal Twitter… saya join.

Nak buat cerita pendek jadi panjang, saya beli tiket show Zee online & lepas tu tweet dia.

Kami tak pernah jumpa sebelum tu. But we had friends in common.

Dia kenal nama saya & cakap kita patut jumpa kat show tu.

Tapi saya tak dapat DM dia.

Sebab time tu, kalau orang tak follow awak,

Jadi nak beri nombor telefon pun tak boleh.

Last sekali tak tahulah saya cara nak contact dia.

Tweet dia tak balas.

Saya pun pergilah show tu & memang kagum dengan dia & band dia.

Sound was tight!

Memang ni band yang sedap.

Semua American musicians kecuali Zee — superstar yang asal dari Malaysia!

Lepas show, saya beratur nak dapatkan autograph dia.

Bila saya perkenalkan diri, dia minta tunggu sampai habis autograph supaya kita boleh berbual.

Anyway, lepas tu end up saya pergi join band dia dinner kat satu pizza joint di area North Beach kat SF.

Rupanya dia tak dapat contact saya sebab van dia rosak.

Esok tu, saya jadi tour guide dia kat San Francisco.

(Tapi tu cerita lain kali la kot…)

Buat cerita panjang lebih panjang, 10 tahun kemudian kat KL, saya finally perform dengan Zee Avi untuk acara Malaysia Tatler.

Lepas show untuk Malaysian Tatler

2 tahun lepas, Zee jemput saya perform untuk acara yang dia anjurkan: ILHAM AFTER DARK: Zee Avi & Rakan-rakan.

Tahun ni, saya, Zee Avi & Brendan de Cruz host siri Nada Music MY – open mic performances di app Clubhouse. Siap baru-baru ni kami ditemuramah dalam suratkhabar The Sun!

Artikel dalam suratkhabar The Sun

Jadi, kenapa saya cerita semua ni?

Well, sebab kerjaya muzik ni satu perjalanan yang panjang & menarik.

Tapi, tak semua orang tahu bagaimana nak bina kerjaya muzik yang lebih berjaya.

Saya tak tahu semua benda.

I don’t know everything.

Tapi yang saya tahu, saya ada kongsi semasa sesi Strategi Bina Kerjaya Muzik.

Feedback lepas tu POSITIF!

Termasuk dari Luques yang emel saya cakap:

Hey az that was a really great session and a great hypothetical slap in the face to make people realize that some other guy out there may not be as great as you but the difference is hes doing it consistently and people know him. 

That’s where i know i have to step up my game and fill in the blanks im missing. The session is definitely worth the price and now i have a clear vision and understanding of what do i do at this point on. 

Thank you so much! 

Luques 

Dan CJ yang cakap:

I’m so glad that I’ve join Az Samad’s masterclass “Strategi Bina Kerjaya Muzik” today. Its a glimpse into the world of ideas and perspectives of Az who is a professional musician with more than 20 years of experience!!! Thanks for all the very straight forward advice!

Atau feedback ni dari Twitter:

Just finish a zoom session with @azsamad on topic “strategi membina kerjaya muzik”.He touched the basic such ‘what kind of career/musician that you want to be’and ‘how u can monetize it’. Hopefully there will be part 2 on this topic in the future. Recommended guys!
