1. Please give us a brief bio, where you are from and how you started in this field?

I am from the valley of Gilgit Baltistan (G.B) root wise, the land of the brave. My family
got shifted to Islamabad many years ba! and sine then it"s been a long time away from
G.B, though fre#uent visits are always on the ards. I neither had a ba!ground in musi
family wise, nor did I have a $ro$er full time training in any shool of musi. But out of
my own musial uriosity I went in hard to learn the musial theory all by myself. %hose
initial ste$s meant I had ta!en musi seriously and wanted to $ush the limits&
'.(hen did you first disover your reative talents?
)s far as my self disovery is onern, it all started ba! when I aidentally stumbled
u$on my interest in musi while I was $laying with some musi software"s while I was in
my *
th
lass. I disovered my talent as a om$oser long before I !new I ould sing as
well. +ine I already had been writing some $oetry as well in my blog by the name of
Guftar (htt$,--www.guftar.blogs$ot.om), I had no trouble in giving lyris to my sounds.
.ne by one I wor!ed hard to find e/ellene in all the fields of 0om$osing, mi/ing,
mastering, singing and lyris writing, though I had to s$end a lot of time on eah..
1.(hat ins$ires you to !ee$ going and how do you !ee$ yourself motivated?
Its really hard to !ee$ going s$eially when you are a dotor with full time ommitment
to your 2ob but I still find my time somehow. )t the end of a tiring day, all I need is to
s$end some time with myself as it gives me all the ins$iration I need. ) setting sun, a
old bree3e of the winters, olors of s$ring, those inredible eyes, an ins$irational e$ial
melody by ).4 4ehman, 0lassi )rrangements by 5ohn (illiams, the maestro Mo3art"s
evergreen om$ositions, an ever ins$iring #uartet of ellos and violins & all and almost
everything turns into an ins$iration for me.
6.7ow will you desribe your style of singing?
I li!e e/$erimenting a lot. +ti!ing to a single style never allows the freedom to ma!e
mista!es and learn more. I have sung soft lassial ballads (Behain, Pehli )ar3u), 4o!
(0hingum (alega,8hundunga %u2he), 9letronia-8ane (4angoo me duba,%a!e you to
the $arty, 4ang 5amane), :ol! (Goori )thii), 7i$7o$(.ut of +yn, 9m$tiness),
Ins$irational ( 0hange, Main 2ab uthunga), 0lassial-Bollywood (+ham se sham ta!, 5ag
+ara), 0ountry (;abhi 4ona <ahi)& to name a few
In one word, I am 9/$erimental.
=.8o u have any role model in your field?
<ot 2ust a single $erson to be honest but if still have to name some one than he would
undoubtedly be ).4 4ehman. :or his humbleness with ingenuity, he deserves all the
$raise that he an get.
*.what are you doing nowadays besides musi?
I am a dotor by $rofession, wor!ing as a house offier at )yub %eahing 7os$ital I have
to stri!e a balane between my wor! and my $assion. I am also managing a band by the
name of >4everberators? and we have already released our first single by the name of
Goori )thhii..
.n a lighter side, we dotors never get enough time to be free from our stri!es let alone
daring to do something else& lol
@.who is your favorite singer that do you thing is doing good musi nowadays?
In Pa!istani musial sene I really li!e 3ain still being a newomer though. )s a band,
strings and Mee!al 7assan band sore high. )broad im die hard fan of bob Marley, while
A' as a band never sto$s to ins$ire me.
B.7ow do you bridge the between you and your fans ?
I li!e to be live in onnetion whenever $ossible but on the internet I onnet using,

D.)ording to you why Islamabad musi sene is not as muh live as Eahore and
;arahi?
Islamabad always had the fuel to turn on the burner, but all that is la!ing is a festive
atmos$here that ould $rovide the o/ygen. Islamabad li!e any other ity has all the talent
that we need, we 2ust have to reate more hanes to interat and e/hange ideas.
4eently I have seen a lot more ollaboration between solo artists and bands and this
gives a ray of ho$e that we are moving in the right diretion.
(e need a lot more events, onerts, ollaborations, s$onsors and most im$ortantly time
out of our busy onsti$ated lives to reate that magi&
1F.8esribe yourself in = words.
0reative, %alented, Blessed, +uessful but above all a :ighter&
11.Eastly, any words of advie for as$iring young singers what they should do to
$rogress and beome a good singer?
Gou will never get anything in your life $resented to you in a dish. Be $re$ared to be
ritii3ed, seen down u$on and to be tested by fate. Be always o$en to ritiism in order
to im$rove u$on your mista!es and above all <ever give u$ on your dreams o3 you
might either turn them true or learn that they were not meant for you, either way you
gain.
1'.what u thin! about mnew3?
It"s a great initiative to be aware of our musial sene. Infat the youth of Islamabad were
always in need of suh a blog that they ould identify themselves with. Bringing the fan
to the artist is what mnews does so well..
