They currently reside in Selangor Darul Ehsan. He is the second child of seven. One of his brothers also used to be a nasyid singer in group Far East. He has anther younger brother who lives in Singapore with his biological parents.

Faizal is a composer and also a singer. He built a mini studio named Home Suite Studio, located at Ukay Perdana, Ampang. In 2008, he moved his studio to Damansara and changed its name to Aku.Muzik.Kamu.

Controversy

On 13 January 2008, Faizal courted controversy by removing his shirts to his bare chest and also his belt "live" on television during 8TV's fourth anniversary concert. Thus, 8TV's top management took stern action by giving him strict warnings and requiring him to be involved in charity work for six months. Besides this, two days after the incident, 8TV held a press conference for him to apologize to all who were offended by his stunt.[1] As a result, on 19 January, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) stated that it would ban him from appearing on television for three months, and also bar 8TV from airing live or tape-delayed entertainment programmes throughout the same period, effective 15 January.[2] The ban ruined his chance to perform two songs (Mahakarya Cinta and Kasih Tercipta) in Anugerah Juara Lagu organized by TV3.

Days after the end of the ban, Faizal's woes did not end there when the Mufti of Perlis, Dato' Dr. Asri Zainul Abidin, issued a grievance to TV3 against having him for the Konsert Jom Heboh which was later held in the first weekend of May.[3]
