Norway born and based Pakistani singer, John Leo, also known as Khakan Altaf Chaudhry, is in the process of releasing his brand new single ‘Always’ which is an upbeat rock/pop track with a great vibe.
In 2013, John Leo released two singles: This Time Around & Shine, as well as an EP called Different Ways. His first single, This Time Around, established him as Norway’s exciting new Asian artist and paved the way for the success of his EP.
Different ways received airplay on radio channels in Norway, UK and Italy as well as an interview on City FM 89.
John Leo might be living and producing his music in Norway but he has strong Pakistani roots, being fluent in Urdu and Punjabi. He will also be releasing his first Urdu single later on this year.
Speaking about why he has now chosen to reach out to his fans in Pakistan John says:
“Pakistan is a part of me. I am pleased with the positive feedback I’ve received from people in Pakistan. I hope to soon play some live shows, and I’m looking forward to showcasing my tracks in both English and Urdu to the public.”
Considering the music scene in Pakistan has long been suffering due to the ban on YouTube along with the ever prevalent security risks, it is heartening to see Pakistani musicians based abroad reaching out to their local fans and providing them with quality entertainment. Fans can listen to John Leo’s music tracks on his official Facebook page or on soundcloud.
