son of Ustad Hussain Baksch Ghullo, Suraj Khan.

Drain the Band’s song in an Indian short film
How
do you see the work nowadays in your field Easy or difficult?
Music is the hardest of the performing
arts, because there are so many musicians who are talented and only a few make
it to the commercial music industry. A musician cannot exist without the
sponsorship of record labels and concert promoters. It is more about being a
brand ambassador than being an independent artist if you want to survive from
this field.
What
are your plans for the future in your field?
I would like to finish my English-Urdu
fusion song with Incision Films in Islamabad then make a music video of it.
After this record my first album if I find a sponsor for it.
