Early Life

Coming from a family of reknowned composers and cousins to the famous composer duo Sajid-Wajid, Amjad’s inclination was towards composing, while for Nadeem it was singing. They performed live percussions at various college events and youth festivals. This inspired them to explore their musical potential together and thus began their journey as a music composer duo.
