Sunny Khan Durrani is a musical artist from Pakistan who was born and raised in Peshawar and known for his Hip-Hop music and pure lyricism.[1][2]
Early life
Sunny Khan Durrani, an artist from Pakistan who was born and raised in Peshawar, Pakistan. He is mostly known for his work in Hip-Hop. He has been into Hip-Hop since he was 12 years old. He can rap in 4 languages (English, Urdu, Punjabi and Pushto) and up to 4 words per second. Apart from Hip-Hop, Sunny Khan Durrani also produces, composes and writes many different genres including Rock, Folk, Ambient, Pop, Pop-Rock etc. and first jumped into serious spotlight for collaborating on a song featured on Mooroo’s album, Pehli (2016) and more significantly on the collective Patari Aslis Volume II (2017).[3]
Rapping Career
Sunny Khan Durrani is pushing freestyle rapping and tracks to a further level. He always tries something new and fresh, i.e. first he beatboxes on the spot, then makes a beat and does harmonies, then plays piano on scales of harmonies and then Sunny raps in 4 languages on that beat.[4]. Sunny also showed his amazing music and won the hearts of music lovers when he was featured in a music event in Lahore called Lahore Music Meet in 2018.[5]. He is a young rapper and producer who released not one, but two, impressive songs called "Rok Lo & Badtameez" in the beginning days of his career; his raw style made him notable through these tracks.[6]. His body of work is not limited to the collective Patari Aslis; he has released a full length album called Khabarnama prior to this record, irrespective of the times we’ve learnt to embrace where releasing singles with music videos is the norm. For his fearlessness, he picked up a nomination for Best Hip-Hop/Rap artist at Sepma Awards for the song ‘Log Kya Kahengay’. After releasing the excellent Khabbarnaama, an album worth listening to for its fearlessness, Sunny has released – in 2020 – a new album called Aetizaaz. Though a hip-hop/rap artist, who can rap in four languages: English, Urdu, Pashto and Punjabi, Sunny Khan Durrani is politically aware and that is most reflective in his music. More self-assured now than in preceding years, Sunny Khan is also willing to share his personal narrative on this latest album. With the release of the artwork earlier this month, Sunny confessed on his Facebook page, “Aetizaaz is a deep personal journey of all the struggles that happen inside and outside the head. It’s a project that grew up with me and traveled through the years patiently with me. Also it’s based on my real name Aetizaaz because it’s the side of me which people don’t know about, just like they didn’t know my real name.”[7].
Social Act
Not only rapping, he also did some social work. For example, Many girls complained about a Facebook page that was leaking their personal pics and asking for money in return. He openly asked "Edwardian girl" page to take the page down for the sake of humanity and ALLAH. Within the next 3 days, or then I will have to take some practical action and don't take it as a joke & After 3 days the culprits running the page got arrested, which was even covered by the news.[8]
