I’m Asad Khan — a producer, musician, singer, and DJ.

Formerly known as Khanvict, I built a career as a high-energy DJ — a path that reflected one part of me, but not all. My many parts didn’t always seem like they could exist in the same room,
let alone the same person.

Born in Pakistan, I’m deeply influenced by mystic Sufi philosophy, the listening traditions passed down from my grandfather, and my mother’s poetic sensibility. I was fortunate to be exposed to the greats of Pakistani music — Mehdi Hassan, Noor Jahan, and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — from a very young age.

When I moved to Canada at 13, I was swept into the world of electronic music and its immersive soundscapes. I became both an engineer and an artist, rooted in heritage and modern innovation. For a long time, I felt I had to choose between tradition and experimentation, art and science, the East and the West — which left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. I didn’t quite belong anywhere, because I belonged to all of it. I now understand these worlds aren’t separate — they’re connected through my own, and our collective, existence.

My sound is about reclaiming that truth. I blend cinematic textures, rich low-end frequencies, and live instrumentation, drawing from Qawwali, Ghazal, and Indian classical forms. Committed to high-fidelity sound, I work to bring depth and clarity to classical and folk-rooted music. For me, it’s not about performance — it’s about connection: to self, to spirit, to others, and between worlds. I aim to create work that is timeless, ever-evolving, and deeply human.

Born and raised in India, Mickey began singing at the tender age of 3. After moving to the US at 14 Mickey explored his musical creativity and developed an artistic blend of South Asian and western sounds. With support from his family to pursue his artistic passion he recognized the importance of heritage and culture no matter where you might live in the world.

Taking a different approach to Urban-Desi fusion Mickey is set to truly bridge the gap between Indian and American music genres. His music energetic and smooth at the same time creatively laces the best of east and west in a way that audiences everywhere can relate to. On stage Mickey creatively incorporates Hip Hop and Bhangra dance and is sure to get you out of your seats. Not being afraid to think outside the box, this singer/songwriter/producer is a breath of fresh-air in a market of overly commercial manufactured sounds. See below for samples of Mickey’s songs and live performances.
