Biography : Adnan Sami is a what you call a complete musician. And something of a prodigy.He appeared on BBC at the age of nine for his skills in piano playing and till date is the fastest piano player in the world. Sami cut his teeth on the piano when he was very young, and was noticed by his family friend, who put in a word to BBC. The channel saw Adnan at a concert, and was smitten enough to ask him for a television interview. He also performed a musical piece for them. Needless to say, Adnan's tryst with fame began early. Adnan also hugely benefitted from the piano lessons he had in school at Rugby. Music was an important extra-curricular activity in school, and the institution housed a huge music school. Adnan was also fortunate to find a teacher in Mr Campbell, who honed his skills on the piano. Under Campbell's tutelage, Adnan also learnt song writing, music organising, structuring melodies and orchestration. Apart from that, Adnan is largely a self-taught musician. He also had the fortune of being noticed by Asha Bhosle at the tender age of 10, when she was performing in London with R.D.Burman. He had the oppurtunity of playing his recorded music to her, and she spotted his genius right then. Adnan drifted into popular music in Pakistan, with albums like Abstract, Ecstasy, Raag Time, Live In Karachi and Sargam. His singles like Teri yaad, Dekho janeman, Pyaar hai, pyaar bina and Barsaat enjoyed a dream run on the charts. His collaboration with Indian artists began with a classical album with Magnasound and Hariharan called "One and Only". Ashaji's prophetic words rang true when Adnan collaborated with her for "Kabhi To Nazar Milao "and "Barse Badal". Work soon followed and he has been a popular singer, composer ever since.
