Fundamentalism, fanaticism, extremism and intolerance has claimed a multitude of innocent lives. In Pakistan, the December 2014 APS Peshawar attacks and the brutal rape and murder of Zainab left me in a state of shock and disgust. I penned down Aadamkhor as a reflection of what our society and what we as humans have become. 

Lets take small steps to realize our problems and learn to become better human beings by not only accepting, but embracing difference of all sorts. Lets put an end to false-pride, extremism and so called 'honour'.

Aadamkhor ft. illmandar

I started structuring this song on an airplane to none other than the City of Angels, Los Angeles. Although I lived there for an year, I developed a very strong identification with the place.

This song is about a city I fell in love with.

City Of Angels.

Bhaago is my 3rd single and it is my take on the never ending rat race that takes you on a new journey of self discovery with every lap around the track. Peace.

Shahzeb Jafri - Escape From Schuland

I present to you a rather melancholic and a slightly orchestral rendition of Zakhm, originally produced by the Pakistani rock band, Silversmoke. I hope my experimental approach does not offend anyone sharing a similar passion for the track. 

For me Zakhm is about the timelessness that some wounds carry, leaving adaptation to prevailing circumstances as the only viable option.

Shahzeb Jafri - Zakhm (Cover)

This is the first track that I ever started recording back in 2016. The track represents the various dilemmas an immigrant goes through as they join a race in which they are already two steps behind (privilege). Hence the name, PROJECT X. This song is an appreciation of all the hustlers fighting on Away turf, giving up their security nets, being more efficient everyday, navigating competing ideologies, and feeling the pressure to justify the different identity projects they pursue.
