I must say, the breath and vision and kind of word play and imagery used by Moby in his lyrics does suggest a musician who is not in it just to live out a short rock boy fantasy..."

I've been playing original rock music for around 7 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 (legal and pirated) copies of our 2004 release, 'The Morning After', received the TMA 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 dis-banding 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 have been:

1. Being made Mp3Unsigned.com Artist Of The Week in May 07
2.'Soulpilot' & 'In Transit' made tracks of the day on Garageband.com in the blues rock and groove rock genres respectively (first week of September 07).
3. In September 07, 'Soulpilot' & 'In Transit' were also nominated for the 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Music Awards in the International Rock Song category.
4. 'In Transit' hit #1 on Songplanet Radio's Top 40 Songs Played By Live DJs charts for the period Nov 13-27 2007, and then hit the top spot again on Dec 5 2007.
5. 'Escape Artist' a DJ Pick of the Month (Nov 07) on Songplanet Radio.
6. Best Male Solo Artist (Pakistan) at the 2007 Music Aid International Music Awards.
7. 'Soulpilot' hit #1 on Songvault.fm Radio's Rock Indie Hit Radio charts (12/18-12/20 2007)

My preferred partners-in-crime on the guitar/bass currently are Ali Qamar & Hashim Nauman. A big shout-out to these very talented individuals.
