“Music has to have its soul and its own original form. The soul must be strong and the form must be clear. Its form must be able to be heard and able to highlight its true, original self… the form must be expressed as required by the soul or spirit.†– M.NASIR
BIOGRAFI
START OF CAREER
M.Nasir began his career in the artistic and music scene after obtaining his diploma in Western Painting from The Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, in Singapore, in 1978. At that time, he was much involved in writing lyrics and acting in plays. It was while singing with a local band, that he attracted the attention of En. Wan Ibrahim, the then Executive Producer of Polygram Singapore, who introduced him to the record company. From there he began his foothold in the malay music industry.
FIRST HIT SONG
His very first lyric ‘Senandung Semalam’, to song composed by Wan Ibrahim, was a hit which brought fame to Alleycats, a popular band during that time. Confident of his response towards his compositions, he began to compose songs, his first song being ‘Hujan’ for the rock group Sweet Charity. His compositions contained in Alleycats’ album, proved hits with the listeners, with hits like ‘Andainya aku pergi dulu’, ‘Hingga akhir nanti’, ‘Setahun sudah berlalu’, ‘Kerana Kau’, and each album fetched more than 50,000 sales, the highest recorded sale in Malaysia, then.
His first song ‘Kenangan Lalu’ sung by Flybaits, another popular band at that time, introduced and popularized the band into the music scene. This song has also been covered and popularized in Tagalog in the Philippines., and also in Cantonese by a popular Taiwanese singer, Teresa Teng.
SINGER
As a singer, he started in 1981 when he was given the opportunity to record his debut album ‘Untuk Pencinta Seni’. However, it was not very successful as the album fulfilled more of his taste rather than the listeners.
He then set up a group ‘Kembara’ and was the genius behind the songs which introduced a new era, ‘communal folk song’ in the Malay music scene. Popular songs like ‘Ekspres Rakyat’ which depicted the society, became a whistling tune among the teenagers and adults. With Kembara, he recorded 7 albums, the last being the songs from his debut film, ‘Kembara Seniman Jalanan’ in 1985 in which he was the lead actor. The group then split up and each went their own direction.
He then decided to return to the studio as a solo singer in 1990 and he recorded his first album under PMC, which is now known as Sony BMG Music (M) Sdn Bhd.
‘SOLO’ the title of the album, was a fusion of contemporary and traditional music. ‘Mustika’, the hit song, paved the way for ‘Malay music’ or ‘lagu-lagu melayu’ as he wish it to be known.
‘Saudagar Mimpi’ the title of his second album, also reached platinum with songs like ‘Apokalips’, ‘Inang Pulau Kencana’.
His third album ‘Canggung Mendonan’ or ‘Awkward Stranger’ hit the market early 1994, has received good response and achieved platinum. ‘Mentera Semerah Padi’ and ‘Bonda’ are some of the songs that hit the local charts.
In 1994, he was awarded ‘The Most Popular Male Artiste’, Anugerah Bintang Popular organised by media Berita Harian.
In 1996, BMG Music (M) released the live recording of his ‘Konsert Akar’ which was staged at PWTC, Album was well received with sales of 50,000 units.
On 27 April 1998, ‘Terbaik M.Nasir’ was released with a compilation of 10 songs from his previous albums ‘SOLO’, ‘Saudagar Mimpi’ and ‘Canggung Mendonan’ and 2 new bonus track ‘Kias Fansuri’ and Andalusia. Albums selling well with sales almost reaching 25,000 untis.
In Sept 1999, he released another album titled “Srikandi Cintaku†a compilation of 10 of his best compositions made popular by Search, Awie, Alleycats, Hattan and many more. This album which was also said as an album to commemorate his late wife was recorded in his own style with fresh recording and new arrangement. One of the most excellent track, ‘Srikandi Cintaku’ has been arranged and sung with “keroncong mood†compared to the original ballad rock sung by popular local group Bloodshed.
In his move to penetrate the international market, he has just signed up with Warner Music (M) Sdn Bhd, where an international album is expected to be released. At the domestic side, he has just released his latest album “Phoenix Bangkit†his first solo album under that label. The album with hit “Raikan Cinta†is an album with Eastern influenced tunes album sold more than 20,000 copies within barely 2 weeks of its release, undoubtedly a positive indication that this is one of his best albums.
Meanwhile, his previous record label BMG Music (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has also released an album titled “Prahara Seni Abadi M.Nasir†on 14 June 2001, a compilation album with 2 new songs “Dalam†and “Walidâ€, which he collaborated with Brad Parker, American composer.
In November 2003, M.Nasir came out with a compilation album titled “Mentera Semerah Padi†with a new fresh recording of his song Mentera Semerah Padi which was a duet with the rock band Spider.
Recently, M.Nasir has just released his new album ‘Sang Pencinta’ in May 2006. ‘Juwita Citra Terindah’ is a very popular song in this album.. All songs in this album are 100% composed by M.Nasir with Lyrics by Loloq/M.Nasir.

His concert in Manchester, named M.NASIR CROSSING UK’97 proved his versatility in working with a small group of musicians in an acoustic concert. The music which was arranged traditionally was well received by the audience.
