A Malay Muslim desktop engineer by trade, Fairuz's unconventional background and his knack for self-experimentation allows him the creative freedom to expand his repertoire to include design, photography and creative writing which has resulted in a stream of varied works from zines to poetry and short fiction.
Fairuz has worked with clients such as "by SF. " on editorial works for their Sakura and #SFEID19 hijab lines, and clients for their engagements and personal portfolios. In addition, his literary exploits have paved the way for him to be a guest poet for events like the Poetry Festival SG 2021, his works sold in Wardah Books and be invited as a panelist at the Singapore Writers Festival 2022.
Outside, you can find Fairuz unwinding at record stores and old neighbourhoods with his trusty film camera(s). Inside, you can catch him tuning into various entertainment forms such as classic films, music and mini documentaries on anything and everything, or indulging in streetwear culture.
