Art Fazil is a Singaporean singer and musician. He spent his childhood in Singapore and Malaysia. He grew up listening to his uncle's record collection which included legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Deep Purple. Later on he turned on to U2, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Farka Touré. He started writing songs at age 13. By 18, Art was writing songs for regional big names like Ramli Sarip and Ella. In the early 90s Art began working as a roadie for Sarip while he continued writing songs for major Malaysian acts such as Left-handed, Ella andKathy Ibrahim, with many songs published by Warner Music. ==Rausyanfikir== After his stint as a roadie, he formed a folk rock band called Rausyanfikir, meaning Thinkers (origin: Persian) with school friends Esham Jamil and Mohd Khair Mohd Yasin. The band recorded two significant albums—Rausyanfikir (1992) and Rusuhan Fikiran (1994). Influenced by Iwan Fals, Usman Awang and Kembara, the band wrote songs exploring issues such as social consciousness, political reawakening and cultural preservation in the face of rapid modernisation. Its single from their second release " Dhikir Fikir Fikir" was awarded Best Local Malay Composition 1997 by COMPASS ( Composers and Authors Society of Singapore) Awards. Both albums enjoyed modest sales, about 50,000 copies. The band's musical alchemy was affected with the death of member Esham Jamil after a prolonged illness which began after the release of their second album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Art Fazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
