Musician Fez Meghani (His famous tu hi tho hai)

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Fez was raised in the UAE and moved to the United States at the age of 17. He wrote his first composition at the age of 15.

When Fez moved to the U.S. in 1993, the pain of separation from his family and friends drove him to write and compose songs dealing with loneliness, pain, and gloom; he wrote over 50 songs in English and Urdu. His parents later moved to the United States.

In 1995, he began to work on his first album titled “Aag,” which took a couple of years to complete. Around this time, he met a phenomenal keyboard player named Shams Sommar of Dallas, TX. They formed a band called “i.t.n.a” (in the name of Allah) and performed exclusively at Jamati events. From 1998 to 2002, they worked on an album titled “City of Light,’ which was released to commemorate Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit to Houston in 2002.

In 2005, Fez began to work on an album titled “A Golden Sunrise,” to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Imamat. Two songs from this album became very popular among the youth of North America during the festivities: these were “Tu Hi Tu Hai” and “Allahumma Salli Alaa Muhammad-in Wa Aal-e Muhammad.” During the extended Golden Jubilee Year, Fez had the privilege, along with his Associate Producer and co-vocalist Aftab Ali, of performing in many cities in the US and Canada including Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Toronto, and Calgary. They have also had the honour of performing with noteworthy artists such as Taufiq Karmali, Khursheed Noorali, Shamshu Jamal, and many others.

In 2006, Fez produced an album for Shams Soomar titled “The Evolution of Creation.” This was an instrumental album that traversed a musical landscape covering Creation, revelation to the Prophets, guidance from Imams, and the quest for personal search to get closer to the Creator. The album received rave reviews on music websites such as Amazon.com and CDBaby.com.

Fez plays the keyboard and bass guitar but considers himself a better composer, lyricist, and producer. Fez is currently working on a project with Planetunity Records that will include songs in English and Urdu, with a message about the core values of Islam: peace, generosity, and love.

Fez has received tremendous support of his initiatives from his parents, brothers, and his wife Khairunissa.
