Started learning basics from Keyboard at the age of 7 years, and then gradually started Guitars and now doing both.

Inspiration:
My father is great inspiration for me to enter into the music field. He is Music Graduate (Punjab University Lahore) in Sitar and Shagird(student) of Ustaad Nafees Ahmed Khan. So in this musical environment i got interest in this melodious field & learnt the Western Music Basics and its collaboration with our Eastern Music Scales...!

Problems in Achieving Career:
Competition in Overall Music Field has grown up rapidly by the Advent of Private Media Channels. Now-a-days song is not listened but watched.. Means most of the people who can invest in the videos can become a singer in this regard and can get promotion and fame through money. I think the the audience should listen good music and promote the music of those people who properly learnt it. I think this is the main problem which is spoiling the true upcoming talent !
  
With Whom  have  you worked with?
I am working as a Musician (Guitarist) with "Night Chords -  The Band"
Working as a Music Arranger and Recordist at "Zohaib Recording Studios and Music Productions" Working as a Music Director with a NGO "Sehar Ministries"
Working as a Event Manager for Arranging Concerts and Events at "Sunrise FM 95"
  
Results of Achievements:
Well these days I'm performing with various bands and TV Channels as a Singer and Guitarist too, Meanwhile also arranging music albums for various artists.

How do you see the work nowadays in your field Easy or difficult?
I think that the work in this Music field has come to difficult these days because now a days one have to promote himself on all channels and Media’s to make his identity. People have lots of options to see and listen, and they used to listen the music with heavy budgeted videos. I think this thing has made difficulty for most of the Artists of the Age.

Plans for the future in your field?
Currently working at my album, which will soon release. Also planned to do some Fusion in Instrumental music like the collaboration of instruments like Sitar with Bass Guitar and Grand Piano..!
