“The entire team was friendly and supportive. You didn’t feel that you were collaborating with these guys for the first time. Also, I learned the basic ideas of recording and video making. So, my overall experience with Radio Nagarik was incredible,” he praises. Rauf further adds, “The most important thing about ‘Covered’ is creating the platform and opening a door for a better future in the music realm.
Besides his music career, he is a part-time lecturer and full-time employee. He teaches students of Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) at KFA Business School three days a week in the mornings and works at his dad’s hardware business throughout the day. However, he still manages time for music. “If you’re really passionate about something, you automatically get some time for it,” he shares.
