Personal life

Born into a Punjabi Jutt family, Khurram grew up in Lahore, Pindi and Islamabad.
His father is a retired bureaucrat[9] and his mother is a housewife. He has a
younger brother and a sister. While appreciative of the arts in general, no one
else from his family has yet ventured into the field of music.

His parents were supportive of his passion under the condition that he pursue his
studies and career in parallel. Khurram did exactly that, graduating from Carnegie
Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh, PA, USA with a Masters in Information Systems
Management.[10]

Since 2002, he has managed a full-time IT/telecom career (currently works at

Afiniti as Director IT) along with his musical ventures.[11]

He has two sons and a daughter.[12]

Musical influences
As a school boy, Khurram picked up the guitar due to the magic woven by the music
of Guns N' Roses and Slash's guitar skills in particular. This was well before the
Internet era and rock music did not have many takers in Pakistan. Inspired by his
guitar idols Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, Khurram's undertook an entirely self
taught journey towards the realisation of his musical goals. Initially he was
predominantly influenced by Western rock and roll, being an avid fan of Led
Zeppelin, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden in particular.
Over the years, however, he has absorbed a wide range of influences including
Indian classical and semi classical music. This has imparted his musical repertoire
with versatility and resulted in a sound that is not mere 'fusion' but a
collaborative collage of different musical cultures.Personal life
