One quote on you all are inspired by?
Honestly, there are too many to mention. Artists in general have the ability to absorb a lot things.
Tell us a bit about yourself?
Our band consists of four members. Each person brings in a different feel to our music. Our dominant sound is a fusion of Blues and Eastern Classical. It's more like a band of brothers. Jasim and Mansoor have been friends since their childhood, Eiman is Jasim’s younger brother. Tauqeer is Jasim and Eiman's eldest brother's childhood friend. It was Tauqeer who coined the name “The Northern Lights”.
Inspirations?
We are inspired by many artists but to name a few we would have to say Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Pink Floyd, Ustad Mehdi Hassan, Vital Signs, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa.
What are your hopes for the near future?
We look forward to making some meaningful music. Music that is fresh, beautiful and spiritual. So stay tuned!
