Ghazi is best known for appearing in the 1999 movie Anna and the King[1](in the role of Balat), alongside Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-fat. He has appeared on stage in London's West End and in Europe, in productions such as Miss Saigon, Rent and The King and I.[2] He has also appeared in several television and theatre productions in Asia.[citation needed]

In 2006, Ghazi released his first music album, Semalam, which features jazzed-up versions of classic Malay songs. One of the album's feature songs "Ku Impikan Bintang", a Malay-language rendition of Pink Martini's "Let's Never Stop Falling in Love",[3] became a popular hit. The album earned Ghazi the 'Best New Artiste' award at the Anugerah Industri Muzik at the same year.[citation needed].

In 1995, Ghazi won a nationally-televised talent competition in Singapore called the Fame Awards[citation needed].

Ghazi was educated at the United World College of South East Asia[4] in Singapore, Emerson College in Boston[citation needed], and Laine Theatre Arts[citation needed] in London.
