Painting by M Nasir

Mohamad Nasir had attended the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts graduating with a diploma in Western painting,[2] originally wanting to become an artist. He was roped into music making in 1978 when a friend of his Wan Ibrahim, then executive producer of Polygram Singapore, had invited him to write song lyrics for the band Alleycats, who were rising in popularity at that time.[2]
Nasir decided to venture into singing, releasing debut album Untuk Pencinta Seni/Pelukis under the name of Mohamad MN in 1981, which ended up being a flop. He moved on to form folk rock act Kembara with four other members; A. Ali, S. Sahlan, and siblings Abby and Eddie Ali. The Ali siblings however left the group early on the band's formation due to disagreements on picking what genre they were to take.[1]
Kembara released their own self-titled debut album, which became a commercial success with 25,000 copies sold.[2] The band went on releasing six albums riding on their fame until their disbandment in late 1985.[1]
In past 2 years, TAPAK gallery owned by Yusof Ghani had held a solo exhibition for M. Nasir.
