Soch’s debut song titled “Bandeya” in 2009 established them as an innovative force that uncovered a sound which showcased their melodic and progressive music style. Following the first release, Soch under the mentorship of Xulfi (Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan), became one of the pioneering artists in Nestle’s Nescafe Basement (Season I) in 2012. Uth Jawan, Ajeeb Se and Awari, giving these wonderful foot tapping originals in Nescafe Basement, Soch was soon acknowledged for their wonderful music and style.
Soch reinforced their distinctive sound and also demonstrated their passion, evolution and growth as musicians and songwriters within the pop, rock genre. Soch gave another heart rendering thought provoking track ‘Khabar’ for Shahzad Nawaz’s Chambili, which then followed by their video Hamesha which is directed by internationally acclaimed Adnan Qazi and styled by none other than Pakistan’s very own Fahad Hussayn.
Congrats on the nomination and all the best at the Lux Style Awards from all of us at UrbanAsian.com!
