Tell us a bit about yourself?
Ans: We actually are students, Not fully professional musicians, We ( Talha.A, Talha.Y ) have been friends way before we were any close to making music.

How was the group formed?

Ans: Group was formed a year back, While I ( Talha Anjum ) was in U.K , As you may know that Talhah Yunus's mother is no more among us, He wanted to make a tribute song to her and wanted me to feature in, That is how we decided to work together again and form our own band alongside Zion Nathan ( A rapper and an old friend ).

Young stunners a very unique name, who came up with this name and is there any reason behind it?

Haha, It's classy, Talha Anjum came up with it. Stunners actually goes for guys who do stuff that attracts people, You know, which makes people look at you, or make them talk to you. And we're Young, of course. So that is how it came up.

Burger e Karachi a great success, were you guys expecting this much appreciation from your fans ?

As our target audience is mostly students and teenagers, people like us. We were expecting appreciation, But not exactly what we got. Back in studio we were like, ' yeah it's a pretty good thing, It'll work''. The next thing you know is we are topping the charts for Pakistan, Doesn't matter if it's Hip Hop or any other chart. We be stunning everywhere. I heard people listening to it in cars and gyms and Sheesha bars. it was all over.

What is burger e karachi about, does it portrays any message?

First of all, It is not a diss song to any other artist, secondly It is a lyrical image of what people are like nowadays. we are describing a society in which you are judged for what you wear, what you eat,Where you hang out and how much money your dad makes in a month. I've taken names of different colleges and schools which are well know for having brats like these. But the best part is those brats Love it, Haha.

Who writes the lyrics? And who is the most creative in the group ?

Every artist writes lyrics for himself, We do help each other with words. If you talk about creativity in Lyrics, It has to be Talha Anjum, he comes up with pretty difficult words and rhymes very quickly. if you ask about creativity in music, It has to be our man Umair Khan, he is a genius, a musician who has knowledge about music. He doesn't only listens to music, he studies it.

Which country would you like to go for performance and why?

Well, It has to be U.K, I have family in UK and they say people play it in the gym and restaurant , That is exactly the type of music Pakistani teenagers listen to,Rap music. And nothing is better than when It's in their very own language Urdu.

What are your raps usually about ?

We rap about things we see around, We absorb from the society. Burger-e-Karachi, Fikar-e-Akhirat. We say what we see.

Any upcoming projects?

Ans: Lot of projects, projects that We cannot disclose right now.
But people will love it. That is a promise,

What’s the best thing of being famous?

We are famous? Haha. Well I'll share a personal experience, I hang out alot, So boys who use to mean mug me all the time now come up to me and are like ' Aur jaani kya haal hain? baray hit hogaye ho. So the best thing about being famous is you earn a lot of respect among people. But most importantly you have to give it back too.

After being famous who has started getting more bachyan ?

Now that is the question I was waiting for. Haha, We haven't calculated yet, We'll do it after our next performance. Lets see who has his pocket full of cell phone numbers. Haha.

Funniest/Embarrassing moment ever at a performance?

Funniest? Umm. In Nixor college, When Talha Anjum was doing his Burger-e-Karachi's verse. He pointed out at a guy with a pretty good afro standing with his friends and said ' Oye Burger, Jaa Ke Apna Mu Tou Dho' . To be honest, the guy disappeared.

Any message for your fans?

Umm. I'd just say Hey guys, Thanks for the lovely lovely support, There was a time when we were nothing but now we are something you would like to listen to, Firstly because we have supporters like you and secondly because we do what we feel like doing, we do what we feel is real. So stay real,Play hard,keep your eyes open and watch out for Young Stunners, Thanks!
