In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I think my earliest memory of music is realizing it could say things people around me never did out loud. I became addicted to that honesty very early. Maybe that’s why I still gravitate toward poetry, qawwali, and songs that feel a little exposed What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party, Love and Devotion Tochi Raina, Sufi Acoustica Various Artists, Coke Studio: Season 9 These are the albums that shape my skills and inspire me to bring out the best for my fans. There is not even a single day that goes by without me listening to either of these songs. I feel I am talking to God when I am listening to these songs. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Ishq Akela” This was my 1st official independent release. An original composition that is very close to my heart and loved by my audience every time I perform it live. Grateful to the almighty for giving me the strength to create music.
