Career

Ismail Izzani started making a name for himself when he was 17 years old, and started to become a phenomenon after his first single called "Sabar" produced by himself with Omar K, Adib Hamdi and Zyn became popular. As of August 2017, the music video for the song has been viewed over four million times after being uploaded on YouTube in February 2017. [4]

Before Izzani ventured into singing, he received his early education at Setiabudi Primary School and Setiabudi Secondary School in Gombak. Ismail once joined the nasheed group at the schools. In the middle of 2016, he started attending home schooling to ensure that his career and study schedule went hand in hand and did not clash. [5]

Izzani was supposed to sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam in 2017. [6] However, he did not have the opportunity to sit for the SPM exam that year due to registration problems. [7]

Izzani launched a duet song with Siti Nordiana and two Indonesian artists namely Fatin Shidqia and Rizky Febian in conjunction with Eid al-Fitr entitled Raya Nusantara on 9 June 2017. [8]

Izzani also dabbled in acting, starting his acting career through the telefilm Batang Buruk Lesung Batu, then starring in the dramas Kebaya Kasut Kanvas and Lelaki Lingkungan Cinta. [9]
