After his A levels, Khan went on to achieve his BSc (Hons) in Economics and Politics from LUMS University. His first single, "Bachana," which was initially released on YouTube, earned accolades and mainstream success by the masses.

He plays with a band, but ultimately created his own niche as he blossomed into a renowned celebrity as a solo artist. His vocals are derived from a fresh and lucid cradle. "Bachana" emerged as one of the best songs of 2010. Recently, his debut on Coke Studio Season 4 with his song called "To Kia Hua" and now "Lamha," commences his mark on the top lineage of artists in South Asia.

Here is BK in an intimate chat with his coveted audience in the Middle East for Arab News.

I'm a singer/songwriter and a guitar player based in Lahore, Pakistan. I get a kick out of writing pop songs that people can relate to.

Tell us about your first hit. When your first song hit the audiences, was it like you envisioned? What feelings and responses were involved? Any lovers or haters?

My first song, "Bachana,” became a viral hit — something you can never predict. I had put out the song for my friends to hear and had recorded it at home on my cheap computer. It spread all over through Facebook and YouTube.

I never wanted to sing, and I just wanted to play guitar. But, I soon realized that just playing guitar would bore others even though I love to play it. So, I had to put my voice on top, and I'm lucky that, more often than not, people told me: "Can you sing that again please? I like your voice."

That you can totally ruin your life and still write a song about it.

Oh, I think it has to be John Mayer. He is musically amazing and has great pop sensibilities.

My own life experiences. I think seven times out of eight on my album, "UMEED", I have written the songs directly from my life experiences. I also find inspiration in movies like Braveheart. "FREEEDOMMMM!!!"

It has to be Spain. I've never been there; I’ve just seen it in pictures. I don't care if I don't get to perform there as long as I get to visit it once before I die. I would probably be too busy exploring the city anyway.

Whenever the light goes out, and we get that a lot here in Pakistan, I tend to use my phone’s light to guide me to my destination, which is usually my bed. But, if you want me to elaborate on what inspires me, I think when it comes down to my songs, the biggest inspiration are the events taking place in my life. That's exactly what it is: me telling a story about my situation. And, I've realized that my story is universal. It’s everywhere, and that is why people have been able to relate to my songs. If you ask me where I'm headed, I just want to keep learning and growing as a musician and hopefully try to delve deeper into the art.

I really want to start a mini-comic. I used to draw comics back when I was studying in university about life at university. Now, I want to write a mini-comic about some issue that appears to be totally useless but is very important in reality.

I just want to constantly evolve as a musician and not be bound by labels or genres. I think I don't ever want to be satisfied with my work because that would be the death of the musician. I just want to constantly learn and improve on all aspects of songwriting.

If you invite me to perform, then why not?

I think that is yet to come.

With my band.

I just hope that I can be as normal as I have always been. I enjoy being anonymous and just observing in a stealth manner.

“Sweet Thing” by Keith Urban, which reminds me, I need to listen to it again.

Tell us about “To Kia Hua,” your first track on Coke Studio. How did you come up with it? Do you write songs from personal experiences?

That's the only song on my debut album that is not derived from my life experience but from a universal feeling I saw was very common amongst my friends. It's a heartbreak ballad and a lot of people are relating to it, and it’s doing really well — something like 350K views on YouTube in seven days! That is insane. It tells me that many people know what it feels to have their heartbroken.

I would say really soon. It's recorded and good to go. Don't have an exact timeline yet, though.

On his Facebook fan page, BK admits he "continues to write, record and release music from dimly lit locations in Lahore." His new album, "Umeed," is on the verge of release. You can hear his commanding vocals and music on. Dreaming to be insatiable, he is one to watch out for.
