==Achievements== Zakaria began blending a fusion of genres into his music, defining a new style of post-modern Kurdish popular music. Zakaria has an established young fan base, but his music appeals to people of all ages.
In 1998, his first album To Hati (trans: "You Came") was well received by Kurdish audiences worldwide. It was recorded with the help of a popular Swedish musician. To Hati was the first music video in his career.
A year later, at the end of 1999, he released his second album Bigerêwe (trans: "Come Back"), produced by Zakaria Music Pro together with some Kurdish musicians. Bigêrewe, recorded in Sweden, was the only track with a video in this album.
In 2001 he released his third album Daye (trans: "Mom"), which comprised a mix of Kurdish, Middle-Eastern and pop music. It sold over 1,000,000 copies world-wide. The videos for the tracks Daye and Boçi hati (trans: "Why Did You Come?") were shot in Kurdistan.
In 2002, Zakaria released his silver album Rojgâr (trans: "Days"), selling more than 1,500,000 copies. The album consisted of 14 songs and was recorded in Turkey. In this work, Zakaria introduced a "Fantazi style" aspect into his genre. The hit video track from this album, Netbinim (trans: "If I Don't See You") was shot in Turkey, and Rojgar and Tunazaneke followed.
By this time, Zakaria was well-loved, touring internationally and appearing on Kurdish exile television stations, with an 11-piece orchestra comprising musicians living in Sweden, such as Shapur, Bejar (bass), Zak Keith (guitar) and Marcelo Nuñez (drums). Concert appearances were often greeted by screaming fans, storming the stage, crying, and asking only to have their picture taken with Zakaria. As a result Zakaria lived in hiding, under siege from admirers.

It was recorded with new sound techniques and was technically groundbreaking for Zakaria.
Zakaria released his latest album in January 2007, titled Gencî Pîr (trans:"Young Old"), consisting of 12 songs, selling more than 6 million copies. The album was largely a work of Fantazi and pop music, and the song Roji Bextim became a successful R&B hit. Zakaria shot a music video for this new album in Turkey, called Gullê (trans: "Flower" or "Honey"), with an Italian model playing the leading role. The video, released on December 25, was welcomed as a Christmas present by many Kurdish people.
