| India received more than a thousand messages for the show from India but can't go |
"In the past three months, I have received messages and emails to do one and a half thousand shows from India."
Lahore -based singer Zeeshan Ali has gained such popularity in the past few months that he has had a show of showing shows.
But the surprising thing is that Zeeshan Ali is not a new singer. According to him, he started regular singing training 16 years ago. The remake of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Qawwali 'New Jia Hoover Dasda' was also identified in the Nice Cafe Basement.
Nevertheless, what is the reason for his sudden popularity, especially in India, in his own words? These stories listen to them.
It is 2019 when Zeeshan Ali was preparing for a song recording.
He explains, 'A friend of ours, who was a DOP, was on the way and we were sitting in the whole setup. The camera was mounted, and Mike was in front of me, the artist gets such an environment and immediately becomes moody. So we started singing. '
When Zeeshan started singing, his friends started recording. At that time, they sang some of the lyrics' Simplify and look at us.
'At that time I remembered two poems. I gave it. Similarly, the flowers will be painted and 18-19 tracks will sit. '
Zeeshan Ali decided to use this recording via YouTube, but preliminary results did not come as expected.
'I came home and uploaded 19 videos on YouTube within a week, though this method is incorrect. Four to five thousand people saw it. I started doing my job again. '
Zeeshan Ali says that some time ago, the song 'Simply Look at Us' began to become popular on social media, but because of this popularity, he is still unaware.
'Six to seven months ago, it was not known that the simplicity of our slightest look, but many rails started on Instagram. Someone drew his photo and put audio behind it, so I love that people are connecting. '
The important thing is that their popularity increased drastically in India.
He proves this in such a way that 'I have done 40-50 shows in three or four months in Dubai. There were two or three of them organized by the Pakistani people. All the Indian people were organizing. '
They have also been offered to show India, but currently, there is an obstacle in their way.
"There is a law that no artist from Pakistan can travel from Pakistan."
This law has also been a hindrance to their great desire.
Zeeshan says, "I have a great desire for my life to perform at the Festival in Delhi."
He explains that 'I am a large number of people from 24 to 36 years old. Speaking of the area, 85 % of the people are from India, and the rest are Pakistani. I don't know how, but so. '
About his journey, Zeeshan said, 'I started learning to sing 16 years ago. There is a culture of the music academy in Lahore. '
But this journey was not easy.
'There are different families everywhere. There is a separate world of classical. The first reality check was that those who are classical families do not accept any ordinary child. That is, they do not accept. '
He believes that this is the reason for the fall of classical music in Pakistan.
'What are the reasons for the fall of so much good music, classical music? No one is willing to give that knowledge to anyone. That's why it disappeared. He also had the role he was doing music. '
"There was an atmosphere in which every musician wanted to win another. They continued to fight all their lives. '
But what is the reason he became popular because of classical music?
Zeeshan Ali gives credit to social media for this.
'If I give credit to something, I will give it to social media. My hard work was left, but the role was played by social media until the people were talking, I was singing, singing, or singing badly, I was singing at my house. '
Zeeshan says that social media has given everyone the same opportunity.
'Previously there was only one PTV, you had to stand outside the door, a slip for chance, to arrange a recommendation. Now everyone has the same opportunity in the form of digital. '
"You can bring your job to the people, if good, you will be over."
Zeeshan says, "When you take your skills to the extent that it becomes a truth, becomes a reality, opportunities for you are created for you."
He believes that social media is not only a source of money to reach consumers but also to make money that should not be used by the artist.
'Why not art when women can make money from cooking videos? If an artist puts a million on a song and one million people see it on YouTube then four million rupees will be returned, and if he gets some shows, he should recover his money. But it will make a profit. '
