FAQ
Q) How long have you been singing?
A) Ages I guess, tho after seeing the MHB at Al-Hamra, I realise I should've kept my mouth shut.
Q) Your have a VERY powerful voice...is that natural, or did you have to train/develop it?
A) Eh...lack of a proper vocal PA meant I had to develop natural amplification; hence me overshadowing everyone else when we play acoustically.
Q) Can you teach me how to sing?
A) Go to Javed Bashir of MHB; ask him if he'd give discount if we both tagged along.
Q) Why do you sing like Eddie Vedder?
A) I am unfortunate enough to be surrounded by people who need hearing aids. He's too big a man to be compared to.
