INSPIRED BY CONCERTS
After the completion of studies, he left Kashmir for the job of a waiter in a five-star hotel in Hyderabad. It was there he got acquainted with the power of music and to a fair extent the use of social media as a platform that anybody can use.
The embellished halls of the hotel and the concert nights that used to take place between 6 pm till midnight stoked the inner vocalist of his. He could see how the music brings together lot of people and how the singers are as good professionals as others are.
It was there in the hotel – while as waiter, that one day, he decided to perform live in front of a whopping five hundred people. Unlike any other singer’s maiden performance, Kawa’s performance fetched him a standing ovation from the entire crowd and won hundreds of hearts. The performance gave him confidence and a hunger to pursue the field of singing, writing and composing songs.
