Abdul Aziz bin Harun or commonly known by his stage name Aziz Harun, is a singer-songwriter and actor from Brunei who gained popularity in both his country and Malaysia with his most recent track, "Senyum." He is known for his unique fusion of Asian pop music, creating sounds that are fused between traditional Bruneian music with modern pop elements.

Since the age of six, Aziz has been singing and playing the guitar, following at the age of nine, he composed his first song. His victory in the 2009 Bruneian kids singing competition "Bintang Kecil" earned him the title of "Best Performer" and he was sent to Kuching to represent Brunei in an international singing competition. Then, in November 2010, he launched his debut single in Brunei, "Peace and Harmony." He received an invitation to participate in the "4th Marketplace of Creative Arts" in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 2012. 'Never Gonna Stop' was his second single, which was later made available in 2013. He stated that the pop and dance song had a Justin Bieber-like quality to it despite not really liking Justin Bieber, but he respect him for his integrity and hard work, and he believe that he has earned the title of adolescent idol.

Aziz was signed to Warner Music in 2014, but is currently managed by Universal Music Malaysia. With his song "Senyum," Aziz earned a name for himself in the Malaysian music industry in 2015. He was nominated for 'Best New Male Artiste' at the 2015 Anugerah Planet Muzik (APM), a Malay-language music awards ceremony. He went one step further the previous year when he won "Best Collaboration" for his song "Beautiful," which he co-wrote with artists Mike Chan and Omar K. and his mentor Faizal Tahir. This made him the first artist from Brunei to win an APM.

Aziz has been gradually developing his musical style from those early days on Radio Television Brunei (RTB). He is currently a recording artist with Faithful Music and is managed by Warner Music Malaysia. At an exclusive listening party for "Jangan" at the Bang & Olufsen dealership in Kiarong on 20 September 2017, the singer-songwriter extended an invitation to his Bruneian admirers. The duet track "Jarak" by singers Aziz and Aisha Retno was released in 2019. He claims that during that period, he was still in Brunei and Aisha was in Malaysia; during that time, Aisha only delivered voice recordings and the song Jarak's melody via email.

The last time they were featured was in April 2019 with the song "Jauh," which was a chart-topper, coming in at No. 7 on the RIM Chart for "Top 10 Most Streamed Local Songs in Malaysia." With his most recent hit on 13 December 2019, "Kembali." He took part in the second season of the entertainment reality show Big Stage 2019 as a competitor who would represent Brunei. However, after getting a chance to continue his education, he pulled out of the tournament. He rekindled the nation's music scene with his most recent single, "Kan," following his completion of his studies in the United Kingdom, which was formally released on 13 May 2021, through the Faithful Recording Company.
