- CONNECT WITH MASUM
MASUM came into existence in June 2004 at the University of Texas at Arlington. What started as a college band with Sameer and Mudassar, has now become a collective dream of many others.
A MASUM track brings together deep emotion expressed in one of the most beautiful languages ever Urdu and sounds that linger in your memory long after it’s over.
Though extremely difficult to typecast, the style closely resembles genres such as rock, pop and classical Indian music.
The band has performed at a variety of events and the sounds of MASUM have been well received. In August 2006, MASUM was selected and had the privilege to open for popular Indian band, Indian Ocean.
MASUM’s first single Tumhaari Yaadein was released on Radio Salaam Namaste (the only 24-hour FM Desi Radio Station in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, in Texas) in March 2007 and has been receiving substantial airplay. Subsequently the station invited MASUM to perform live at their studio.
The band is primarily based out of Dallas, Texas and is currently working on their first album, which upon completion, would be marketed in North America and Asia.
MASUM is currently in the process of recording demos for some of their original compositions (March-April 2008). Efforts are also on to associate the band with a record label.
In a short period MASUM has performed at a variety of events and in the process has been building on its ever-growing fan base.
