Asim and Adil, twins, are vocalists and song-writers from Lyari. They were born and brought up in well-educated family. They have decided to pursue career in music and film making industry As they were very passionate about music and they knew that this thing can make their dreams come true. They also believe that their passion and love for music is the reason that they are far from the social evils and bad activities.

Asim and Adil are doing their bachelors in Media Arts from Karachi University. They are good in studies too. They know that musicians are having a tough time in here and always criticized by the society. But they did not let it be a bugbear in pursuing their dream.

Their love for music was triggered when they started singing in their friends’ circle at a very young age. They started listening to different genre music and participated in the different singing competition. Their father, Abdul Wahid, who is a professor, always supported and encouraged them in their process of learning and performing. This process of uplifting from home made them stronger despite having rejections and criticism from society.

Later they started learning properly from their teacher, Shahzaib Ali at Arts Council of Pakistan, where they got a chance of proving their talent in front of big names in the industry.
