Tell us a bit about yourself? I am Virgo, very unpredictable and a spot on person, I live in the moment. I hate to dwell over the past and I only look at the future. I guess that’s what has mainly always helped me to be focused on my main goal which is to be the most loved one in the eyes of the people around me and Alhamdolillah I’m successful in that! As Salman Khan said, "I don't plan anything because when you do, The ONE above laughs.” I have the same belief! At times, I love the ‘me’ time i.e. personal time with the 'Khamosh and Relaxed version' of Asim Subhani. Najam Sheraz's "In Say Nain" and Aamir Saleem's "Ajnabi" gave birth to a singer in me and I'm thankful to them for that. I love to get my hands on the latest gadgetry. My time at home is mostly spent with my ma (who's my life). I love to smile in pain .. That's how I am .. I'm od like anything! Just believe in loving The Living Creatures !!!
Study background? Did Matric from ICB, A-level from Roots High School and then joined LLB (Hons.) from University of London.
What are your songs about? My taste.
Who inspired you to become a singer? Michael Jackson and Sonu Nigam.
That one artist you would love to work with? Himesh Reshammiya.
Define music/singing in your own words? Music and singing are two different realities. Both are quite subjective things I believe. As far as I'm concerned, Music gives me a lot of energy and takes me to an entirely new world. And singing gives me 'Sukoon'. I love to sing - I just love it!
Is there any message you consistently try to portray in your music? I love adventures that's why I'm trying to do all kinds of music. So, my music for now isn't message oriented but in future, Yes! I would love to make songs with the message primarily being that the life never stops and the hope should always be there!
If you got a record deal at this second, would you accept it? Yes of course!
Would you prefer performing solo or with band? Solo.
Best performance yet? It was an acting venture, at PNCA Islamabad recently (June 2013), 'Ik Khwaab Sa Lagta Hai' and I just loved it!
Views about Pakistani music industry? It's in a really bad shape!
Which Pakistani female vocalist would you like to collaborate with? I love working with new people. Especially youth. Ephra Khan Durrani and Maria Fatima Unera Qureshi are doing wonderful Masha'Allah and have a lot of potential.
Which Pakistani male vocalist would you like to collaborate with? Since the question is about 'Vocalist' so Ali Zafar is my choice because he's always up to something new. If it was about Pakistani 'Artist', my choice would be the 'Junooni' - Salman Ahmed!
Which musical instrument do you play really well? I'm a vocalist and I play with my vocals only!
Worst comment by any hater? Can't call it worst, its the funniest, that I look gay .. hahaha!
Any upcoming projects? Of course! My music has just begun. I collaborated with One of the Best Rappers around Osama Com Laude (OCL) for a song 'Pyaray ALLAH' which is the Ramazan Special for 2013.
Any message for your fans: Just listen to your Heart and do whatever you want to keeping in mind the Limits prescribed by ALLAH! Trust Me, Success will come to you by itself!

Views about Islotimes: Islotimes is doing a fabulous job. As I said earlier, Pakistani Music Industry is in a really bad shape, in such a time when the young artists or new faces need recognition, support, appreciation, promotion and help, Islotimes is there for them! As they say, a Friend in need is a friend indeed! So, I believe that Islotimes is being a real friend of youngsters! Thumbs Up to the whole Team
