Hafiz, a captivating artist of Indonesian-Chinese-Malay descent, transcends the boundaries of individual genres. He is a filmmaker, music producer, director, and songwriter whose career is marked by both artistic depth and remarkable versatility.

Hafiz's artistic journey began in 2014 with "Hafiz & Friends Recap," a film project honoring his youthful friendships. This initial exploration in storytelling led to the creation of "Lost" in 2015, a short film that garnered local acclaim, transcending its academic origins to grace screen at local cinemas and festivals.

Driven by a boundless creative spirit, Hafiz launched "Hafiz & Friends Recap S2" in 2015, followed by the ambitious 44-episode series "Hafiz Journey" (2016-2018). During this period, his musical identity blossomed, culminating in the release of his debut album, "Heaven," in 2018.

2019 witnessed a pivotal shift. While "Hafiz & Friends Recap: History" and "The Sun Will Come Up, the Season Will Change" solidified his storytelling prowess, the global pandemic prompted a renewed focus on music. His 2020 album, "MANIC," became a powerful outlet for his emotions, showcasing an evolving artistic voice within the realm of instrumental music.

As the world cautiously reopened in 2022, Hafiz reignited the "Hafiz & Friends Recap" project with the poignant "The (memories) We Never Forget," celebrating the enduring power of friendship. This year, 2023, has seen him masterfully balance these pursuits. While meticulously crafting "Hafiz & Friends Recap: This Is Why We Can Have Nice Things," he has also achieved musical triumph with his acclaimed fourth album, "HAFIZ." This work, lauded by critics and embraced by audiences, stands as his most popular and a testament to his continuous artistic evolution.
