Indian Sufi artiste Bismil’s ‘dream come true moment’ appeared when his ‘Bismil ki Mehfil’ got featured on the iconic Times Square billboard in New York City. The billboard showcases the successful completion of the artiste’s sufi music tour that took place in a 10-city tour in 9 US cities and one Canadian city. Owing to the huge success of the US-Canada tour, there’s also a UK tour that’s currently in talks and will be finalised soon.
Bismil is the first Indian artiste who took on the charge to promote Sufi-fusion music around the globe. Bismil Ki Mehfil is an assemblage of intricate emotions and heartfelt feelings strung together to form a beautiful melody. Bismil is known for his infusion of Urdu Shayari in songs. He charmed his way into the hearts of millions of people.
Bismil said, “I honed my skills as a vocalist and refined my genre further by infusing Sufi music with modern pop, which has been quite popular across India and garnered a good fan-base in the states and Canada. I followed a long legacy of talented musicians belonging to the Moradabad Gharana, Delhi Gharana, and Rampur Gharana. My official journey in commercial music began when I met Vibhor Hasija, from Yours Eventfully, and started performing as Bismil. Together Vibhor and I thought of the idea of expanding the Sufi music horizon to an altogether different level with Bismil Ki Mehfil.”
