Shiraz Abdullah Mahmood

A love and passion for music that had been brewing since 2005, pursued with more seriousness 16 years later and with the release of the first fully completed original english track; 'War and Peace' coming out in April 2021.

I first started my love affair with music with the drums. However I soon realised that was not meant to be for two main reasons - I couldn't cut it as a drummer being that another instrument would be needed in life as support. Drums on their own I couldn't do so much. Second - they were just too damn loud and I am sure somewhere down the line I would have alienated my family! Kidding :) - they were always were supportive!

Then came the Guitar. I instantly took to it. I loved it. And back in my college / university days it was awesome - we used to jam around campus and at home and other places. But then life took over, and the guitar sort of went in the background as a once in a while thing I used to do.

But post 2019 I have slowly made my way back to pursuing this passion more seriously. Acoustic guitar player, singer-songwriter and enthusiastic about all things soul and spirit. My compositions include instrumentals as well as english and urdu songs. You can follow me on my social links or check out my YouTube channel for some live jam action (covers, raw originals etc):
