Le Spectra: How education? Were you really made for education?

Siraj: (Giggles) well, of course without education your nothing in this world of now.

Le Spectra: You own ‘SnF Management’ and it’s pretty young in its field; do you see its future bright and shine?

Siraj: Yes, of course, the way I’m being sincere to this company and working hard on all its projects, I can sense something big in future, a lot more to come, huge fame and above all the success which I’ve been waiting for!

Le Spectra: As you are one the underground artist, how would you describe the field of Music?

Siraj: Well for me music is the most healing remedy when you are hurt by deep emotions! I sing for my soul rather than for pleasing spectators or the critics around me.

Le Spectra:  How did you switch from singing to events management?

Siraj: Umm, I always have this bug in me of managing events and managing them to my best. Switching from music to management is not that hard but yes only when you've interest in the respected field.

Le Spectra: Out of the two fields, which one would you choose permanently?

Siraj: I guess management.

Le Spectra: How supportive have your parents and family?

Siraj: My parents really don’t want me to take this management or music field as my career or profession and that is what I`m up to, it’s not my profession!

DOB: 14-03-92
Favorite quote: “We may be human, but we’re still animals.” – Steve Vai

Still burdened by academics, completing my degree of Bachelors of Social Sciences in Media Studies.
At what age or time in life did filmmaking cross from a hobby to something more serious?
It was around 2 years ago when I decided that this is what I really want to do, as for me filmmaking brought together all of my passions; photography, music, storytelling/writing, and magic.
How would you define the actual role that a director is supposed to fill?
A director is like the CEO of a company. He’s keeping everyone together, keeping their morale in check, having a vision and then guiding his team to achieve what he has envisioned. He knows about all the jobs that his team members are doing that allows him to keep everything in check in terms of quality, but he doesn’t meddle in their work, trusts them and their creative freedom to perform the jobs they are assigned to.
What limitations does a movie director have, for example can he also work as an editor or cinematographer as well as a director on a film?
It depends on the project, the budget and the director’s choice. A director needs to know at least the basics of editing and cinematography because without the knowledge he won’t be able to guide his crew properly and tell them what he wants. Speaking from a personal experience, all the music videos
