Masters in Mass Communication, worked for tv for a decade, now into advertising.. working as Director Creatives for Mercury Transformations. Into design, animation, compositing, special effects, campaign design and a lot of other shit that comes with it…
Tell us a bit about yourself? 
I have tried to swim against all tides to be the way I am, I am myself, no one the fuck can tell me what to do, I walk my own way.. I hate following presets… the pseudo two face plastic society we live in, I have a middle finger for them, although I am pretty social but at some point or the other, all the pretentious fakeness pouring outta their faces makes me puke sometimes… ;) by profession, i am into creative, music is sheer passion and will never be a profession for me.
You could be said as “a beast on the drums”, is this phrase enough to describe you?
I find release in beating the shit outta skins especially when live… yeah I don’t have to push too hard to be called that, I just do my thing for my own kick, let the people label whatever they want.. no one owes me anything and vice versa.
You are currently playing with Qayaas, how is it working with Khurram and Umair?
It’s a nice experience, KW is a very senior guitar player and a heavy riffage monster, Umair needs no introduction, it has always been great fun sharing the stage and the studios with them.
