| Bio/About me: |
Having grown up between East Africa and Canada, Qasim Virjee
(aka Abdul Smooth), brings a refreshing afro-cosmopolitan outlook on
life to the mix. His music journalism and performances have crossed
international boundaries in person and through indianelectronica.com – a community web-zine he founded in 2003 to provide platform and forum for the artistic talents of South Asians worldwide.
As an artist, Qasim's endeavors extend beyond music and into a dynamic
realm merging photography, videography, graphic design, and digital
communities with multi-cultural aural tapestry.
Inspired by the works of people such as Mircea Eliade and Wagner,
Abdul Smooth's sound is pan continental but engrossingly subjective;
incorporating electronic music with a myriad of the world's sounds –
from street noises to tribal chants to religious hymns.
