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:
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
