Bilal Matta, passionate about music had run away from home to Mumbai in 7th standard to learn music. He along with Irfan Nabi, his companion, realized their talent after they stood first in one of the ‘under 16 all India youth festival’ in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. “After coming back we wanted to pursue our careers in music but families did not support so we ran away,” smiles Irfan. They stayed in Mumbai for six months after that their families traced them. They were compelled to return. The two have been together for more than two decades now and have been associated with music from past many years. Training almost 400 students, Irfan and Bilal have made it a mission to introduce as many musical instruments in Kashmir as possible and teach their students to play them. A couple of students are presently learning to play Lute at their music school, ‘Mizraab’ at Rajbagh, Srinagar. They have so far trained 40 individual music bands in Kashmir. Being too busy in training youngsters in Kashmir they no more perform live, they say.
