A widely popular Malaysian pop singer,
Ferhad released his first album, Tubed, in 2000. A well-received affair, the album featured a blend of pop and smooth R&B. A hit taken from the collection, "Kasih Berubah," led to additional coverage on MTV Asia. His follow-up full-length release was a live affair entitled
Soul Alive. In 2003,
Ferhad released his third record,
Katakan Saja, which -- while popular with fans -- was not as strong a chart presence as his first full-length. Satu,
Ferhad's next album, was a work devoted entirely to his late mother and his wife, and featured a number of songs performed in English. ~ Chris True
