Sometimes I feel glad about not having any formal music training ... gives me the incentiveto experiment!What drew you towards music?Like I always say, music is in my blood... to compose was my dream and what promptedme to start now was an impulse. I guess I was finally unafraid to try!Type of Music you like?All types, my friends used to be astonished and say: "You're the first person we've seenwho can listen to Pantera and Puff-Daddy consecutively".Type of Music you hate?Anything that has been copied right off... I mean if you have to copy someone else'scomposition, atleast be smart about it!Favorite musicians (Pakistani)?one too many... hehehFavorite Song (Pakistani)?Wow... there are just too many, but I guess Nazia and Zohaib's songs are the ones thatstill surge through my veins.What do you think about other Pakistani Artists?They started out very well but by now the mainstream Pakistani music scene has becomestagnant... Changes had to be brought about and I am glad that the underground musicmovement in Pakistan is finally picking up the pace.Hobbies beside music?Web-design, making graphics using GIMP, tinkering with my Linux box (and screwingsomething up everytime lolz), reading IEEE journals (sheesh) and let's see what else,hmm... writing funky MatLab (matrix lab) and Octave scripts to do all sorts of weirdcalculations ;)Any music tip?yeah, don't copy... make your own if you want to prove something to the world!Nice personal habits?Mine? Oops lol... well, let's see... I am highly organized (I have to be if I plan to work,study and create music all at the same time), I try to be supportive instead of beingcritical, never claimed to be good at what I do (one can't claim to be... cuz there willalways be someone better sooner or later)Disgusting personal habit?hmm... I should be more assertive I thinkFuture Plans?Several. First, I gotta complete my M.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and get a decent job (Ido have one right now but I know I can do better). Gotta have some kids (two will do Ithink... the wife wants more lolz)... and of course, I will try my best to continuecontributing towards my beloved passion: MUSIC. I am also looking forward to singing(good luck Jim!! lolz)Music Recognition or achievements?I don't like to brag... you be the judge (view myguestbookand sign it if you like mymusic)... The only thing I can say confidently is that I feel really good aboutUPACand amglad I started it. There is so much talent sacrificed at the hands of commercial-cola-sponsored-neo-pop, and that the underground music community in Pakistan really deservedto be represented. I feel proud to Lead this great collective, and that I have finallyaccomplished something meaningful.How would you like to be remembered?As someone who was different... who made a difference...
