The Bollywood actor says the casting is the most Inclusive he has ever seen
I have always been passionate about music. What started off as occasional strumming on the guitar from YouTube tutorials led to casual jam sessions at local cafes. Things escalated from there and by word of mouth I was given the opportunity to perform at private gigs as well as popular venues around Dubai. It was then that I realised I was getting paid for something I loved doing and didn't really seem like a chore. Engineering was about connecting with equipment, circuits and technology. music on the other hand connects with emotion and people. That was the game changer for me!
The most inspiring and influential people to me would have to be Mohammed Rafi, Kishore da and definitely my role model Sonu Nigam.
My performance is driven by the energy received from the audience. Every song I perform is based on the reaction from the crowd. When I perform I do get wholly immersed in my singing as it is only then that you can connect and reach out to people in the most authentic manner.
I try to be true to myself at Fahmil's favourite five songs: 1. Ehsaan Tera by Mohammed Rafi 2. Mere Mehboob by Kishore Kumar 3. Teri Bahon Mein Hum by Sonu Nigam 4. Kalank by Arijit Singh 5. Aadat by Atif Aslam all times and that reflects in my performance. I usually make an attempt to blend retro songs with current ones that make my mash ups catchy and nostalgic. I hear a popular song and I try to improvise the groove by implementing various strumming techniques based on my perception of that song. Recently I worked on an original composition Oye Rabba that I am incredibly happy about especially since it has been released. I am now looking forward to the release of my latest original Kehta hai Dil.
Social media is of utmost importance in today's day and age. It is a way of reaching the masses in their own comfort zone.Not everyone who likes my music can attend my gigs so I ensure I post my performances and constantly update my newsfeed to reach a network of people who can still catch glimpses and feel like they were part of it. I have grown through social media and it is through this and the wonderful people who listen to me that I have gained new opportunities. It has truly been a humbling experience.
It is all about passion! Passion, patience and perseverance. Don't give up on your dreams ever. Resilience is the name of the game.
Life is about moving forward and though looking back for me is never an option, I wish I had started this musical journey a lot earlier than I did. But then again everything happens in good time.
