The guy was really good with vocals, but know you what they say; If you haven't made two minutes, doesn't mean you are not good. So yes! Basically, my friend lost the competition, but the next best thing he did, he introduced me to the guy he thought was "Crazed-Junooni". We ran that name owing to the fact that this guy covered Ali Azmat, so regularly and to a point, very conveniently. That was my first introduction to Anis Ul Hassan.  Then came along a few months later, "Mahiwal". That song was so much appreciated and we basically heard it non-stop for months.

Anis Ul Hassan has truly been the artist we have come to love and respect.  Now four years later, here we are ...
