At the panel discussion, I gave an overview of my music career and how I got involved in recording. I started my career as a session guitarist in my teens and recorded for many famous pop artists then. Later when I formed my own band Mizmaar and started recording and writing our music, I felt that the recording engineers of that time didn’t understand the kind of sound we were after because of our western influences so I decided to venture into recording myself and started acquiring knowledge about recording and production“, says Kashan.

He also spoke about how he set up his own studio in the year 2004 and has produced some of the biggest ad jingles, songs and albums since then. “My productions include music and albums for artists and bands like Najam Sheraz, Haroon, Strings, Raeth, Usman Riaz and many more. Corporate work includes campaigns for Mobilink, McDonald’s, P&G, Uniliver, National etc. Directorial work includes music videos and TV commercials” explained Kashan to the audience.

At the 5th August panel discussion, Kashan went on to speak about music marketing and the music industry and gave an overview of the challenges faced by artists in marketing and promoting their music in the current scenario and the challenges the music industry is currently facing.

A lot of young aspiring musicians attended the talks and left feeling like they attained a wealth of knowledge and information that can help them achieve their goals as artists.
