I’ve been playing original rock music as a singer/songwriter for around 6 years now, most of it with my old band 'Corduroy'. We did fairly well in a country indifferent to meaningful music(Pakistan); sold over 1000 copies of our 2004 release, 'The Morning After', received the TMA (local music channel) Award for best English music video of 2006 for 'Leeway' ,signed a merchandizing deal with VOODOOTEES Pvt. Ltd In 2006 as part of Corduroy; we were the only underground band in Pakistan to have such a deal. At the end of our run, we even got signed by a local record label (Indispensable Communications), but sadly by that time, Corduroy as a band had reached its natural conclusion.

The disbanding didn't deter me from continuing to do music on my own, in fact its allowed me to further explore my individual influences in music as opposed to operating within a band template. My latest accomplishments were being made Mp3Unsigned.com Artist Of The Week in late-May 07, and then having both Soulpilot & In Transit be made tracks of the day on Garageband.com in the blues rock and groove rock genres respectively (first week of September 07). In late September 07, two of my songs were also nominated for the 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Music Awards in their International Rock Song category.
