KARACHI: Budding musician, Usman Riaz, has made a name for himself in the industry in a very short time due to his tremendous talent with the guitar, classical piano and harmonica, and has a very promising career in the field. The talented youth addressed the queries of his fans at the Aga Khan University’s Special Lecture Series, held at the Aga Khan University auditorium on Thursday.
The 23-year-old started playing classical piano at the age of six and tried his hand at the guitar and harmonica at the age of 16. He is also the youngest fellow of TED (technology, education and design).
Introducing the talented musician to the audience, Shehnaz Ismail of the Indus Valley School described him as a source of inspiration for today’s youth. “He is not behind Malala, Aitzaz Hasan or members of the Lyari football team who have glorified Pakistan’s name across the world,” she smiled.
