Tell us a bit about yourself? Welllllllllll I am a friendly person love to party , a little sensitive and an emotional type actually that’s may be mostly cancerians are….lol and if you want more to know about me is that I am having more than one personality some times I am a serious book worm type actually that happens only during my exam days. Sometimes I become like person who don’t care about future with a favorite quote “kal kis ny dheka hy” lol.
Inspirations? I started listening to paki rock bands like call, ep, junoon but truly if I was inspired by a personality it would be kurt cobin of nirvana and bille joe of Green day
Study background? Done my matric from hitec school, i.c.s from indus college wah , and currently I am doing telecom engineering from foundation university Islamabad
You used to work with a band, what happened that you became a solo artist?
As I said that my inspiration was green day and even being a guitarist I feel good and comfortable to play punk rock stuff. But my band members were more interested in making a sady sady (sad) love song which mostly bands do because to release such song you can capture the local market because Pakistani audience give more response to such song . So I was a little uncomfortable with axer at that time so I decided to work on such projects which reflects my work and which also satisfies me. I released my debut music video “kya haseen college days” as a solo artist and masha-allah getting a great response from every one.
Else than singing which field are you good in? I love to help my mother in cooking I don’t think that I am good in cooking but what can I say ….lol… my friends think my wife will be very lucky for this….lol
Who has been most supportive while you were becoming a singer? Basically I belong to very religious family I was a little difficult for them to digest this… and even from a place like taxila where playing music yourself was something odd and shocking too. So at that time I was little discouraged but the first person who supported me was my sweet grandmother, may her soul rest in peace. But now after releasing two music videos mostly people treat you so well and sometimes it feels good.
Any funny moment while performing somewhere? Here I want to share that once I was next for perform and I decided to perform my song “ alina alina” before my performance the host called a girl from audience the host said “whats ur name girl “ girl replied “ alina … me and my team members started looking at each other without any expression and then a big laughter . My manager anquie pervaiz said “b.c ajj tujhy kon bhacay ga alina sy”lol
Upcoming projects? Just recorded a new track “kaamlii” along with faisal kayani on vocals .
Message for your haters? Well …… mr hater…keep on hating me …but what about all those who love me more .. With all their love I am satisfied with what I am doing .
Views about islotimes? Yop I think islo times is doing a great job in promoting the local artists. Best wishes from my side to islo times and specially to Mr Usman Tariq for his support and interview.
