When i first heard his song Al-Mu'allim, i was like, wow this is a very beautiful song - beatiful voice, beautiful melody, beautiful arrangement of voices and percussions... and the most important thing is that it carries a beautiful message.. it is about our Prophet Muhammad SAW.. it is just beautiful.... I was actually accidentally heard the song when i was googling for Zain Bikha who sings Give Thanks To Allah which some mistook him for Michael Jackson.
Sami wrote, sing and produce his own songs. He is 23, very young and handsome.. hheheh... i just need to give credit to him because he uses his talent in a good way... conveying the message of Islam.. he absolutely set a good example to the young muslim around the world.. try listening to his songs.. Al-Muallim, Allahu, ya Mustafa, The Creator... he set a new standard in a nasheed world... try watching his Al-Muallim video clip.. you will want to watch it over and over again...
He was actually here in Malaysia last 2 weeks.. doing some promotion in TV3, TV1 and IKIM. Unfortunately i didn't have the chance to follow any of his program.. he was in MHI but i just heard Nizar said.. "Hari ini kita ada artis undangan Sami Yusuf.. bla.. bla.. bla..." that was at 7.30 am.. Nizar was just telling the people about their agenda for the day.. and i was heading to the office.. so no chance to see sami live at TV...
I did some surfing on where to get his CD here in Malaysia.. At that time, no distributor in Malaysia.. so i thought what if i just order the album from the UK distributor because they do send it all over the world... the price is 7.99 pounds.. but when you convert to RM plus shipping... etc...etc.. i changed my mind... hehheh.. tak berapa mampu la... nway, i can still listen to the song (downloadble from his site).. but just recently they add a new distributor in Malaysia and that is As-Sahrah in Kajang.. i have yet to go there...
Salut to Sami.. i hope he will continue this good thing and will not stray from the good intention especially when he becomes more and more popular...
