According to music critics, his beautiful fusion of traditional Bhangra and pop makes his songs a rare treat for the soul. His landmark son, Uchiyan Majan Wali, is a pumping, thumping, swirling, joyous combination of bhangra and pop that makes Jawad so different from others in the subcontinent.
After Uchiyan, Kaise Kahoon is one of the most interesting compositions. Guitar and flute direct in and out. But it is the subtleness that marks this song, and what really do it are the lyrics penned by Jawad himself.
In his two-hour-long performance, Sufi rocks with the local music won the hearts and minds of audience who can rarely see these kind of performance in the city. From words of songs to combination of musical instruments, the singer proved that he is a singer of his own brand.
