Talent OVERLOAD - Farhad Humayun

Farhad Humayun; even his name is as beautiful as a beautiful love ballad. Farhad is a multi-talented individual. He is the founder of the famous rock band Overload which is regarded as the "Loudest band in Pakistan" by many critics. The band is best known for their speaker-blasting energetic songs. Farhad, since making his debut with his band Overload, has released two studio albums and two live albums. Each of them is a success story in its own. Farhad is one of those unique musicians who is a drummer and a vocalist too. The combination is out of this world so is Farhad himself.

With his wonderful band, Farhad has travelled the world and collaborated with some of the finest musicians. That is the major reason why his music has a diverse sound. His enthusiastic performances in U.K, U.S.A, Japan, Scandinavia, Sri Lanka, India, Norway and U.A.E has cemented his image as one of the terrific live performers of Pakistan. His acts are filled with energy, charged with enthusiasm and a charismatic voice to compliment all the magic that unfolds on stage. He is a treat to watch and a joy to listen.

His famous songs include Pichal Pairee, Mela Kariyay and Dhol Bajay Ga (Batti), Jeet, Nimmi Nimmi and Mahiya Ve. He is also known for featuring new players and singers and bringing them to the forefront. The almost forgotten traditional Dhol was also re-introduced by this legendary musician through his band. 

At a time when there is very less live music left in Pakistan, Farhad stood up to the task and in collaboration with Levis, started Levis Live where both new and famous musicians can perform. His efforts to revive live music are commendable. If live music is revived in Pakistan to the same extent like that in the past, it will be because of the name they call Farhad Humayun.  

It is anticipated that he is coming up with more songs in the near future that are full of funky bass grooves, soaring vocal melodies, explosive drumming and the dancing beats of the dhol. Fans cannot wait, we cannot wait for them. Let's see what he has in store for us but for now, we can only applaud Farhad for his laudable efforts and services in the field of music. We wish him best of luck for his future projects and wish that he brings more success for Pakistan.
