My journey in music started when I was in 4th standard.
Initially, I used to play a guitar.
My grandfather is a musician.
He was a Sufi musician.
While watching him, I also develop a love for music and musical instruments.
Since then I am inclined towards Rabab.
Rabab is available with old musicians (Sufi musicians of Kashmir).
I bought this instrument from Afganistan.
I have participated in SKICC,Tagore hall etc
I also particpated in Sonzal last year.
I participated in Chandigarh, India
I have performed at many places.
When I bought Rabab, I hadn't enough knowledge about it.
A guitar is played differently and is easy to play then Rabab.
On Rabab only one song can be played on a cord.
We have to change tuning for every song.
I faced many difficulties and had to struggle a lot while learning it.
I also learned from Irfan sir. He also lives here at Bemina
I want to show the whole world what Kashmiri music is.
Recently few Musicians from Spain had visited.
I recorded with them.
If it is approved, then I will get a chance to perform in Spain also.
I played a song from Spain and give it Kashmiri touch.
I also had played western Music so that more people like it.
and many more.
Adnan is efficient since his childhood.
He used to study well and had a passion for music.
We do not have such exposure to music here.
Still, he takes up this.
Family also supported him.
And he himself had a passion to do it.
Our grandfather is a Sufi Musician.
He (Adnan) used to sit in front of him most of the times.
His journey started from there.
When sometimes we were stressed, we used to make him play Rabab for us.
That soothes us and we feel relaxed.
He is my only friend having a passion for music.
Since childhood, he used to fully prepare a song first and then play for us.
It was only occasionally he played an unprepared song.
But that used to be melodious also.
My main motive is to promote traditional culture.
Western music is more promoted as compared to Kashmiri music.
We are making changes to it as per the taste of people.
So that they will like it.
