    Hael Husaini & Repertoire Bakal Gegar Zepp KL 8 Ogos Ini

    Penyanyi, komposer dan ikon fesyen terkenal tanah air, Hael Husaini, bakal mencipta sejarah menerusi konsert solo sulungnya bertajuk “Konsert Hael Husaini & Repertoire” yang dijadualkan berlangsung di Zepp Kuala Lumpur pada 8 Ogos 2025. Konsert ini menjanjikan sebuah pengalaman seni yang menyatukan muzik, emosi dan fesyen dalam suasana penuh elegan dan eksklusif. Peminat boleh menantikan malam yang penuh kejutan, simbolik dan nostalgia dari seorang bintang yang tidak pernah gagal memberikan yang terbaik.

    Sejak awal kemunculannya, Hael telah mewarnai industri muzik tanah air dengan keunikan suara dan hasil ciptaan lagu yang mencipta fenomena. Beliau telah memenangi dua Anugerah Juara Lagu berturut-turut melalui lagu “Jampi” dan “Haram”, serta mengukuhkan pengaruhnya sebagai pencipta lagu melalui karya-karya hebat termasuk “Anta Permana” nyanyian Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza. Lagu ini juga mendapat penghormatan apabila dipilih oleh Raja Charles III untuk dimuatkan dalam senarai main rasmi diraja di Apple Music. Hael menyifatkan pencapaian itu sebagai satu penghargaan besar buat muzik Malaysia.

    Tahun 2024 menyaksikan Hael terus melakar kejayaan apabila lagu “Diam” diumumkan sebagai Lagu Tema Terbaik di Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) di Singapura. Pada masa yang sama, beliau turut melangkah ke pentas fesyen antarabangsa seperti Milan dan Paris Fashion Week, memperagakan jenama-jenama mewah antarabangsa termasuk Dolce & Gabbana, Zegna dan Kenzo. Bagi Hael, beliau bukan sahaja ingin dikenali sebagai penyanyi dan komposer, tetapi sebagai figura seni yang mampu mewakili Malaysia di mana-mana pentas.

    Konsert ini pertama kali dibayangkan semasa acara “Antonim Night” pada 31 Mei lalu dan diumumkan secara rasmi ketika siaran langsung Big Stage Alpha pada 1 Jun. Dua artis yang bakal menyertai Hael diumumkan sebagai Dayang Nurfaizah dan Nadeera, yang masing-masing memiliki keistimewaan tersendiri dan dijangka menyemarakkan lagi malam konsert tersebut. Melalui satu hantaran media sosial, Hael juga mengusik peminat dengan kenyataan “Siapa cakap 2 je?”, yang akhirnya membawa kepada pengumuman dua lagi penyanyi iaitu Wany Hasrita dan Nabila Razali.

    Konsert Hael Husaini & Repertoire bukan sekadar persembahan biasa. Ia akan membawa peminat merasai perjalanan seni Hael melalui susunan lagu baharu, visual sinematik, segmen kolaborasi dengan artis undangan dan peragaan fesyen khas. Hael mahu semua penonton merasai emosi yang dibawanya melalui muzik dan visual yang direka dengan teliti. Beliau berharap konsert ini akan memberi inspirasi dan menjadi malam yang tidak dapat dilupakan oleh setiap penonton.

    Konsert ini disokong oleh ERA, Sinar dan Gegar sebagai rakan radio rasmi serta Gempak sebagai rakan digital rasmi. Penjualan tiket bermula 3 Jun 2025 jam 12 tengah hari di ticket2u.com.my dengan kategori tiket Platinum (RM258), Gold (RM168), Silver (RM148), Bronze (RM120) dan VIP Box (RM588). Peminat yang membeli tiket turut berpeluang mendapatkan pelbagai keistimewaan seperti poster bertandatangan, sesi meet & greet dan ruang eksklusif di tingkat atas.

Premiering on 22 June 2025, every Sunday at 9 PM on Astro Ria (Channel 104) and streaming on Astro GO and sooka, this groundbreaking series will spotlight the country’s top composers as they guide and groom the next generation of stars.

    In a unique twist to the traditional singing show format, Raise The Star Malaysia shifts the focus to five acclaimed composers — Ajai, Audi Mok, Aina Abdul, Shila Amzah, and Ikhwan Fatanna — who will each mentor one finalist and compose an original song to be performed at the grand finale. The show brings the artistry of songwriting to center stage while showcasing the journey of 30 handpicked contestants from diverse backgrounds.

    Astro Ria channel manager Idlan Zahari shared, “We wanted to create a fresh concept that celebrates our local composers as creators of great music. Raise The Star Malaysia empowers composers to mentor talents, craft original works, and guide contestants toward becoming full-fledged artists in the industry.”

    Hosted by two of Malaysia’s most beloved personalities, Alif Satar and Sherry Alhadad, the show promises high energy, honest mentorship, and emotional moments as contestants navigate solo and duet challenges. All contestants underwent rigorous online and on-ground auditions, impressing judges and vocal coaches with their vocal skills before being selected for the main show.

    Each week, the composers themselves will act as judges, contributing 80% of the contestant’s total score. The remaining 20% will come from public voting. Contestants will be ranked weekly via a “Slay Meter”, and any contestant earning 5 slays will win cash prizes from sponsors.

    The bottom-ranked contestant will be eliminated weekly, adding to the tension as the series progresses over 8 weeks, filmed live from Royal Theatre Shah Alam.

    Raise The Star Malaysia is proudly supported by QSR Brands (KFC) and UMobile as Main Sponsors. The show aims to ignite nationwide appreciation for the art of songwriting while shaping the next wave of musical talent.
