Career
Q joined Josh once the band was already established. They had already done a number of key shows, gaining exposure with the South Asian audiences in Montreal, and were starting to make a name for themselves. Q’s arrival only helped to solidify the band and he brought with him a unique perspective on fusion.
Somewhere along his musical journey, q’s interests started to change and he found himself more and more interested in a variety of musical genres including R&B, Hip hop, Drum n’ Bass, and qawwali such as that being created by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
In the midst of all this, q was busy finding his own sound, his own interpretation of all his various influences and defining his own art. That gave birth to one of his first compositions for Josh, Main Hoon Tanha, which also ended up being the title track for their extremely successful debut album.
Teaming up with Rup (full name Rupinder Magon) has given q the ability to explore his love for the music arts, and to explore it with a partner that understands him completely. This musical journey has led to the creation of Kabhi, Josh’s much-anticipated second album, as well as various other projects including a remix of Grammy winner Nelly Furtado’s latest singles, Promiscuous Girl and Maneater.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
