Kaavish

Kaavish a band from Pakistan was officially formed in 1999 by Jaffer Zaidi and Maaz Maudood. After performing as an underground band for 6 years the band released their first single video 'Bachpan' on music channels all over the country. The band marked their entry to the professional music scene with the success of this video. Soon they came up with two more videos 'Choti Khushiyaan' and Teray piyaar main'. Debut Album The band started recording their debut album 'Gunkali' in 2007. Soon they were signed by Fire records. The lyrics are written by Anwar Maqsood, Sheheryar Zaidi and Nayarra Noor. The fourth video of the band of the song 'Moray Sayyaan' is ready and waiting to go on air which has been shot in Lahore and features well known artists Sameena Peerzada and Faisal Qureshi. Fire Records plans on releasing the album later in March 2009. The News Instep Today and Dawn Images have declared Kaavish’s debut album to be the most anticipated album of 2009. Kaavish’s music does not target a specific market but appeals to audiences from the age of 7 to 70 and is anxiously awaited amongst the fan base they have acquired over a period of seven years. The Band Jaffer took his first step at age one. Five minutes later he learnt how to run. Ten minutes later he banged on the keys of a toy piano and alas a musician was born. Jaffer’s love affair with music began with his first seduction of the grand piano, which continued alongside his keyboard compositions. Even during his early experimentation with professional compositions, Jaffer remained engrossed in his education and never expected his passion to become his career. A few years later, he could not believe that he had never considered it. What started four years ago as meditation now found the attached label of a professional career for Jaffer. Through his music Jaffer wanted to bring a new sound to the already existing dimensions in the Pakistani music industry, his main interest being orchestral music. This journey turned into one of self discovery as he mastered his talent to sing as well as continuing to compose, often collaborating with different artists on various projects, composing music for their albums as well as composing melodies which would later form jingles that are just as contagious as his songs. Accompanying him on his personal journey is his fellow band mate Maaz. Contact Jaffer at jaffer@kaavish.com If Maaz’s cousin hadn’t let him experiment with all of his instruments music might have never been an option. Maaz led a solitary journey experimenting in music until he met Jaffer. These modest beginnings took off in the 9th grade with the two of them playing at school concerts and in underground shows with Maaz’s voice accompanying Jaffer’s. This friendship that progressed over eight years slowly built a path from singing in front of the mirror to giving them a platform to express themselves on international level. As he now leaps into the world of fame and stardom, Maaz continues to work towards his MBA as well as his versatility in the field of music. As far as his musical career is concerned, Maaz feels that he is growing along with his band. Afterall, Kaavish in its true essence is the struggle to achieve the highest point- fortunately; this talented band has time on their side.
