Music is one of the greatest pleasures enjoyed by humans, and the pleasure is divided into the lovers and the makers. Shumraiz Awan was born with music coursing through his blood and deep in his soul. At the age of 10, he learned the piano which paved the foundation for his career in music. Along the way, he picked up the guitar which until today remains his first love.
He counts the tabouka, morchung, mandolin, rebab, harmonium, bass and mouth organ as the instruments besides the guitar and piano that he can play.
At the tender age of 16, he took to the stage and performed professionally in Islamabad,. His skill and deep passion for the guitar led him on a journey discovering and performing his favourite genres - blues and rock.
Perhaps being born and raised in Pakistan both inspired and fed his love for music as music is everywhere, from traditional sounds on the streets,
weddings and sufi shrines to concerts and music festivals featuring modern western music. This blend of different sounds, and being trained in both the eastern and western music worlds fuelled Awan's crossover between many genres and cultural realms.
