aisal Kapadia is a prominent figure in Pakistani music, known for his iconic band Strings, as well as his solo musical journey. His debut solo album titled Zindagi Jahaan Le Jaaye was released earlier this year, marking a new and unexpected chapter in his career.

A mainstay in the Pakistani music scene since the ‘90s, Kapadia explained on the show that he has had a deep-rooted connection with the late Junaid Jamshed. The two musicians shared countless cherished moments, both on and off stage.

In a recent appearance on a talk show called After Hours with Ushna Shah, Kapadia recounted how Jamshed’s unwavering support and encouragement helped him overcome his nerves during one of his early concerts when he was a member of Strings. He revealed how he was nervous since it was their first major concert.

However, the anxiety was eased when Junaid Jamshed came in for a sound check and offered high praise for the band’s music, giving him the confidence he needed. He also disclosed that he and Jamshed shared the same music teacher, a connection that fostered a unique bond between them. Kapadia fondly reminisced about their musical sessions, where they explored classical music and raags together.

Jamshed’s deep appreciation for classical music was a defining aspect of their friendship. These sessions were not just about music; they were also about personal conversations that enriched their bond.

As Kapadia continues to embark on this new chapter in his career, he reflects on the valuable experiences he shared with Jamshed. These memories continue to inspire and influence his music today.

For instance, Kapadia’s recent single, ‘Kabhi’, showcases his ability to blend modern pop with traditional classical elements, a technique that was unique to Junaid Jamshed as a singer.
