Drako'Zen

I personally don't like the local music scene, and never support any local music talents. I've tried, bought a few local demo CDs... but honestly i think they are crap, and the demos are not cheap either.

Anyway, this band earned my respect, period.

Meet Drako'Zen, Malaysia's one and only authentic Visual Kei band. Don't worry if you've never heard of them on air or stuff like that, because the local media authorities wouldn't be too pleased.

Here's the 5 lads.

Drako'Zen was founded by Reiki on June 2007. Ving was the second member to joined in, who Reiki happens to knew him through a forum. Both of them happened to have the same interest on music and decided to start this band. Later the two brothers, Kim and Meo joined the band as guitarist and bassist while Ivan the drummer was the last to joined the band, who happens to be an old friend of Reiki’s.Drako’Zen plays hardrock , heavy metal , nu-metal and rock ballad music. Their image is considered as Visual-Kei.

Reiki - Vocalist

Born in Perak but grew up in Shah Alam, extremely fluent in Japanese.

Fell in love with rock music influence by his favourite idol Bon Jovi.

He used to be a drummer before he became the vocalist.

His ex-band mates forced him to become the vocalist because he is fluent in Japanese and understands each line and the feelings of the song he sings. He has the most gifted voice of a JRock vocalist should have and I extremely agree to that.

Ving - Guitarist

Born in Kuala Lumpur, loves all kind of rock music, working as an animator designer.

He admires Steve Vai since high school and he used to be a drummer before he became the guitarist.

Into JRock because JRock is something totally different from western music.

Kim - Guitarist

Born in Kuala Lumpur and studying in a design college.

Interested in JRock because of his influence by guitarist Hisashi from GLAY and Sugizo from LUNA SEA. (Same as me?!)

He is talented in composing.

He is Meo’s elder brother.

He is the prettiest male I've ever seen. He is so cute on stage! (The pics are not doing him justice)

Meo - Bassist (ignore Ving haha)

Kim’s younger brother.

Born in Kuala Lumpur

He is into hardcore and rock music.

He is influenced by his elder brother, Kim and fell in love with JRock.

Ivan - Drummer

Born in Johore Bahru, have a lot of experience in playing in a band.

He used to teach drums in Johore Bahru Yamaha music school.

His favourite JRock band of all time is L’Arc~en~Ciel when he was in university.

He started playing the drums influence of his favourite L’Arc~en~Ciel member Yukihiro.

Even thought he is a drummer, he is quite talented on other instruments.

Alright, enough of advertising. Ving Ving you better pay me hehe.
