Art for religious fundamentalism is, like water for fire, mere existence, is a form of resistance.
Khumariyaan was born in the age of Talibanisation, sectarian violence, military operations and neo-imperialist expansions, in the region which is a gateway to Central Asia, in the city of Peshawar.

A band of musicians whose tunes are based on their native music, with a tinge of other native music of the world as well, our audience is the educated youth of Pakistan, and our mission is to enlighten the youth with all encompassing aesthetics and performing arts. Our focus is to elevate music to medium of peace of being, and musically, break the tradition of the South Asian vocal based musical culture, thus we are an instrumental band.

Centered on the concept that vocals should complement music, we compose with little fragments of vocals to compliment the overall harmony. We are group of individuals that came together, as on soul, to experience the trance that is live, acoustic music.

To us, music is the best sublimated form of art, and we leave its interpretation to the one who experiences our attempt at being artists. In our journey, we hope to entice musical ‘goose bumps’, and become a moving philosophical experience

A guy born on the 20th of April 1985 in Azad Jamu Kashmir. In his childhood while playing and walking in the valleys, seeing the sky, the little child used to write some lines and compose some tunes upon those. And he kept on asking himself that why every tune is different from other?

Later in 1992 his father posted to the city situated at the bank of River Sindh, Haiderabad. He found Ustad Sultan Ahmad Khan in 2005 and asked him the same question, why every tune is different from the other? who later answered him by teaching the basics of classical music from where he learned and polished his voice.
