Where I Play:
I play at concerts and events for the Kurdish community here in the UK. We have a lot of refugees and asylum seekers from Iraq in Britain and they know me and my music well. My music reminds the other Kurdish people of their country. Some of my songs sing about being away from home and family and it reminds my fellow-Kurds of their homeland and it is important to them. It's partly because of them that I am working on a new album. My label asked me to record some more work. It will be released across Europe, to Sweden, Holland and Germany and simultaneously in Kurdistan as well.
Recently we did a concert with the Kurdish community in Birmingham and a couple in London. I played with the Zahawi Brothers, a London based band. I prefer playing at large professional gatherings as opposed to small informal gigs. I am trying to get the British people to like and listen to this sort of music. I am planning to write and record a song that uses a mixture of English and the Kurdish language and traditions.
