Syamsul is also interested in music. Back then, he co-produced an EP called The Love Legacy with Anwar Fazal. “Bidadari,” “Apakah Semuanya Itu,” “Ya Robbi,” and “Hingga Hujung Dunia” were among the four songs on the EP. In 2016, he released a new single, “Kalah Dalam Menang,” in collaboration with singer Mawi.
