Ukays

The band was formed in 1986 and they released their first album Tinggal Irama in 1991. However, the album sold poorly and Ukays lost their label, Varia Music, after it unexpectedly closed. Amri and Ridhuan Abu Bakar opened their own label, Mekar Production. The band then changed their name from Ukay to Ukays. After the switch to a new label, Amir Ukays joined and became the band's lead singer. In 1992, the band released another unsuccessful album, Mencari.

In 1994, the fortunes of Ukays improved when they released Bisa Berbisa. The album became the highest selling Malaysian album of all time until the nasheed group Raihan surpassed it with their Puji-Pujian album in 1997.[2] Bisa Berbisa received widespread radio play, particularly the songs "Seksa", "Kau Satu-Satunya", "Siapa Yang Rampas Cintamu" and"Di Sana Menanti Di Sini Menunggu". However, after a dispute over royalties, the majority of the band left, leaving only Amir Ukays and Amy Ukays. Drummer Amirol, bassist Olley and guitarist Daniel then joined the band. Ukays released their third album Tajam Menikam in 1995,[3] selling 280,000 units. The album also sold well in Indonesia. After disappointing sales of their 1996 album l Cuma Aku Yang Hidup the members of Ukays left the label. Ukays then signed with Ambang Klasik and Rahmad Mega joined the group as their lead singer.

In 1997, Saari Amri published the band's fifth album Cuma Aku Yang Hidup. The album sold 100,000 units and was published by Kumbang Production. The band used BMG Music as a distributor. Cuma Aku Yang Hidup was not well received due to the economic crisis at that time and also the problem of music piracy. The most successful song from the album was "Kerana Pepatah Lukaku Berdarah".
