Tell us a bit about yourself?
·         There’s nothing better in life than doing what you love. So yeah I’m trying to do that. I’m a Karachi boy with high goals. I believe in giving peace a chance in our society. Life is very un-certain so I’m trying to make each moment memorable.
·        
Study background?
·          I went to a community school where they tried their best to put limitations on my mind. I survived all those years and went to a college where I found out that I want to be a public speaker. I did social/welfare work and public speaking during the college days. The only reward I was getting was the inner satisfaction so I decided to write few tracks and yeah ‘Karachiology’ was one of them.
·        
What are your songs about?
·         I’m currently working on an album. I haven’t decided the name yet but tbh My songs are inspired by so much that happens in our daily lives. From life’s daily struggles in Karachi to personal dreams and aspirations. I’ll be covering a lot of stuff in this album. I really want to help bring our nation together through nice music.
·        
Who inspired you to become a singer?
·         My surroundings. Everybody in our society is talking about the problems and very few are actually doing something about it. Someone’s struggle really inspires me. Everybody has to do a lil too much of struggle or else you’re just another human being.

That one artist you would love to work with?
·         Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan!

Define music/singing in your own words?

Is there any message you consistently try to portray in your music?
·         There’s a verse from my song ‘Nothing is forever; it will end in a blink. You can rule the world but only if you Think.’

If you got a record deal at this second, would you accept it?
·         It depends. if I have the creative independence then yeah Why not
