Mahmood Khan tops 50 million Online video streams

July 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Mahmoodkhan represents a rare breed of
singer/songwriters to emerge out of Asia
who, amongst extreme difficulties, kept
their art alive and dedicated a lifetime
to celebrate the resilience and adaptability
of the human spirit. An experienced sound engineer, producer, writer, lyricist
and performer, he has pioneered the fusion sound and has continually brought
hope to his niche listeners around the world with his spiritual
pop oriented songwriting and philosophy.
Born in Pakistan to parents who migrated from India
after the 1947 war he wrote songs at an early
age and started off as an assistant sound engineer
in Los Angeles at a company that was a hub for R&B, Rap, hip hop
and Funk genres. Jam power productions led by visionary Tom Berry was based in
Northridge, California and was home to producers Chuckii Booker, Livio Harris, Damon Thomas, Budd Ford and Ronni Van among many others. His first break in LA came when his song won the Los Angeles songwriters showcase setting him up with a gig with veteran music producer George Tobin.
In the Indian Sub Continent region where original singer/ songwriters are
extremely rare Mahmood’s love for original songs is kept alive and inspired
by writers such as James Taylor, John Denver, Barry Gibb, Michael Omartian, Paul Simon,
Aziz Mian Qawal, Stevie Wonder, David Foster and Air supply.  Many singers all
over the world have recorded his songs notably Nusrat fateh Ali Khan
who collaborated on album ‘Only One’ Internationally released in 1997 and
recently 30 Australian independent artists recorded his composition for a charity song
for The Red Cross. He was also commissioned by the Government of Pakistan to compose
music for the 9th SAf games opening and closing ceremonies.
In March 2009 he became the first from his region to perform all original songs in
the Concert hall at the Sydney Opera House.
He then re shaped Australian music history by scoring a number one song on the Aria Pop charts with his song 'Like the River'.
