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)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
