Shahid Hamid sahib’s musical journey is a story of real dedication and passion of music. Born into a non- musical household, it was his relentless pursuit of the art that have flowered into the artist he has become today.
His initiation into music was at the hands of Maqsood Ali Khan sahib (a student of Ustad Vilayat Ali Khan) from whom he learnt the sitar. He went on to learn from Ustad Ziauddin Khan Alwari of the National Academy of Theatre Arts, Karachi (NATAK), settling for his own voice to be the chosen medium of expression. After taking early retirement from his day job as a banker, he has dedicated himself fully to his passion.
