- How long you have been in the

More then 13yrs now
- What drew u towards music??
When I was in sixth class I saw a
video in which the guitarist was shredding his guitar like
hell from that day I decided that I will take music as an
occupation.
- Tell us about your past
experiences with the bands and artists??
I have worked with a lot of
artists like Ali haider, Junaid Jamshed and many other as a
session guitarist the experience was really good.
- Mizraab album was getting
delayed again and again but the album has been released
finally r u satisfied with the sales of the album??
Yaar it will take one month to
know how many copies have been sold I don�t think this album
will do well in the Pakistani market as people are into
bhangra and pop no one is doing music sincerely.
- The album cover is very
different and it looks very good who designed it?
Babar Sheikh who is one of my
closest friends designed the album cover.
- On the back of the cover it�s
written �BAGAIR IJAZAT ANDER AANA MANA HAI� what does it
mean??
Hahaha well this quote is for the
ppl who don�t like progressive rock and Mizraab. It means
that if u don�t like Mizraab and our music don�t buy the
album.
- What do have to say about the
present Pakistani music scene??
As I said it before very few
people are doing music sincerely but its good to see some
new bands trying to experiment but they have to work hard
- We have heard that Mizraab is
not after fame and money don�t u think these things are
important??
Well yes we don�t want fame and
money we just want to do music that�s why people don�t know
about Mizraab but we are happy cause we are satisfied with
what we are doing and we r not afraid to do
metal/progressive rock and non commercial music.
- As Mazi Haal Mustaqbil is a
non commercial album u think this type of work is being
appreciated in Pakistan??
No not at all. We don�t do music
for the masses those who want to listen to our music they
are most welcome those who don�t want to listen to it we r
not forcing them to listen MIZRAAB. �BAGAIR IJAZAT ANDER
AANA MANA HAI� hahaha
- Any chance of Mizraab going
commercial??
No way Yaar I don�t want to sing
love songs we r happy to do non commercial music
- Piracy is now a part of music.
Aren�t u guys afraid of the fact that someone will upload
your album on the net??
Well we don�t care about it if
someone uploads our album its ok with us.
- How is your stay going in
Lahore?? Enjoying it??
Yes of course we all r having a gr8
time here.
- Few weeks back we heard that
Faraz Anwar is leaving Pakistan is it true??
Yaar daikho I did a lot but I
never got appreciated I always planned to do music in a
foreign country cause this country will never accept my
work. I worked so hard in Pakistan and to be honest if I
would have done this sort of work in a foreign country I
would have been appreciated all over the world.
- Tell us about KITNI SAADIAN�S
video? Who is the director??
Well we have shot the video and
this video will be different from the other Mizraab videos.
Babar Sheikh is the director of the video and he has done a
gr8 job.
- Mizraab is a very down to
earth band. I met u guys or the first time but it looks that
we r friends for a long time what makes u guys so
different??
Yaar we r not doing anything
special we r the same as we were b4. We r not changed and
INSHALLAH we will be the same forever. We love our fans the
way they love us. Those who get changed after getting fame r
not professional musicians.
- So how long we have to wait
for Mizraab�s Third album?? Is it going to be
metal/progressive rock??
Yaar pehle yeh to sahi terhan suun
lo. If the ppl will like our music we will do another albumJ.
Nahin we r thinking to do a bhangra album hahhahahahahahaha.
- Any final comment any
suggestion to the fans to the music community??
Yaar first of all I would like to
say thanks to the mizraabianz who r supporting us we never
thought that we will be liked that much. They r doing their
best to promote our music. Its gr8 to have fans who think
good for Mizraab & thanx to Jumpy aka Aamir for giving me
chance for this interview. keep jumping Aamir ;)
To the musician�s and the new artists u have to work hard
money and fame is not that important in life your
satisfaction for what u r doing is everything in life.
