Music What's Happenin'

Rising artist, Nafees already has a large following before his launch!

Hot the heels of his incredible YouTube success, British singer-songwriter, Nafees is ready for a grand launch! In just 3 months his free taster track “Teri Yadoon Mein” has had just over 96,000 hits on YouTube, without a video!

The promotional video teaser for his debut single “Mehmaan,” has already had fans clicking away awaiting the full video with 70,000 hits in 2 months alone. With a fervent fanbase engaging with him and waiting for the full single to be released, Nafees and his team are poised to launch an artist with a solid gameplan.

In his own words:

“Growing up, I loved music. All sorts of music, soul, classical, Indian, Qawaali, Pop…anything with soul. I never thought that I’d be creating a life for myself making music. Up until two years ago my life didn’t have a focus. I grew up in a small part of Bedfordshire and moved to Manchester 2 years ago. My lifelong passion for music gave me an opportunity, a purpose and a dream. I was encouraged by a number of people within the music industry 2 years ago and here I am today presenting my music and making it happen. Seeing my vision become a reality has been difficult but also rewarding. Having no tutor or mentor it’s been a big learning curve for me. But thankfully, the love and support of my family and fans has got me to where I am today. I’ve always used music as escapism, to help me through the good and the bad times. I hope to create music to connect with people’s emotions, and be as big of an influence in their lives as it has been for me.
