AKU Alumnus Hamid Bashir (2002) comes in runner-up at APPNA Idol Competition, 2014

September 23, 2014 By Saeed

Hamid Bashir is from AKU, class of 2002 and currently practices Rheumatology in St. Louis. He enjoys singing and came up with the idea of “Music4Cause”, a platform for spreading his message with meaningful music. Music4Cause is a non-profit forum to raise voice against torture, war and terror in the world especially in third world countries. It is particularly geared towards creating meaningful music. Hamid takes inspiration from Shoaib Mansoor, Salman Ahmad, Nusrat Fateh and Michael Brook.

Hamid participated recently in the APPNA Idol Competition, 2014 in Washington DC as well, and came in runner-up. Way to go Hamid!

Music4Cause’s latest video commemorates Pakistan’s Independence day with music called “Pakistan”, a reprise version of their “Drops of Rain.”

Visit the Music4Cause website to hear more of Hamid’s music and support his message.
