Jimi, who was crowned 'Terpaling Fizz' on TV3's Calpis Soda One In A Million last week, had the unique opportunity this week to perform with Aina Abdul, the winner of AJL's Best Vocalist Award for three consecutive years
On Sunday night, 5 January, Aina's mesmerising vocals combined with Jimi's extraordinary energy delivered a truly unforgettable performance of Nafas Cinta.
Their duet not only captivated the audience but also left the judges in awe.
One of the judges, Indonesian singer Cakra Khan, couldn't help but praise them, saying, "Your voices blended really well. Tonight, you both delivered an exceptional performance."
After the show, Jimi shared that the opportunity to perform with Aina was not only an honour for him, but also but also an invaluable experience practising with an industry powerhouse
Viewing the duet as both a challenge and a blessing, Jimi shared his thoughts about the preparation in the week leading up to the performance: "Rehearsing with Aina was easy-going because I was also prepared. Everything went smoothly, and Aina is incredibly humble."
"Aina also told me to fully enjoy the performance and to treat it as our own. InsyaAllah, everything went well," he added.
