Toi 'The Bamboo Shaker'

The third runner-up of Astro’s Akademi Fantasia season six, Khairul Nizam Baharom or Toi, is not just a singer. He is also a multi-talented performer and musician who won 2 Gold Medals in the World Championship of Performing Arts in Hollywood in 2005 for playing the Angklung.

Toi has been playing the scintillating traditional bamboo musical instrument for 13 years and the guitar for 11 years. Singing and dancing are in his blood, especially traditional dances such as zapin and joget. Besides performing in Hollywood, Toi has also played the angklung in Denmark, Dubai and Jakarta.

Nowadays, he is a favourite choice when it comes to cultural performances overseas to help promote the country.

Toi tarik diri, persembahan di Kerteh, Terengganu

Seperti yang telah dimaklumkan pada post sebelum ini, Toi yang sepatutnya membuat persembahan di Kerteh, Terengganu pada 24 April lalu terpaksa menarik diri. Beliau menerima khabar sedih dari saudara mara di Johor Bahru, ibu yang dikasihi telah meninggal dunia. Seandainya ada individu atau peminat yang menanti kemunculan beliau di sana, diharapkan dapat memahami situasi beliau. Salam kemaafan dari Toi.
