SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a PhD student in Music at the U of A. I am looking for like minded musicians to play hard-rock/metal/alternative music with. I like to incorporate Indian and Middle Eastern scales/beats and themes into the music. I am also a writer/lyricist (political activist - current issues).

I write lyrics in English and Panjabi (Sufism, Mysticism, Rumi, Bulleh Shah).
