Though he has been singing since childhood, the professional training of qawwali began from 1992 with his father Ustad Bashir Ahmed Khan, himself a well-known qawwal. Javed Bashir also took classical vocal training from his uncle Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan.[1] His younger brother Akbar Ali is a qawwal as well,[3] and both have performed together, notably for the season 10 of Coke Studio Pakistan, with the song "Naina Moray".[4][5]

Music career

Javed Bashir started his solo singing career in 2001 by singing his debut song "Deewane Nachde" from the album Anything But Silent by Bally Sagoo. Javed Bashir's lucky break came when Mekaal Hasan of the Mekaal Hasan Band called him on board to join his band. He was featured on Sampooran, the band's first full-length album in 2004, It landed Bashir mainstream success and appreciation. The band's popular song "Chal Bulleya" was released in 2009 from the album Saptak in collaboration with Mekaal Hasan Band. After the release of "Chal Bulleya", Javed and the band parted ways owing to differences on musical terms. Javed has since been working on a musical project for Indo-Pak peace in collaboration with Shankar Mahadevan.[6][7]
