Balancing Style and Experimentation

For Sahir, balancing his unique style with experimentation has been a journey of consistency and vulnerability. "To be honest, it wasn’t really balancing at all because people put you in a box of sounds, and as soon as you do something new, they aren’t ready for it," he admits. However, his consistent experimentation over the years has conditioned his audience to expect the unexpected.

"Being fresh is key," Sahir emphasizes. The only balance he maintains is through honesty and vulnerability, allowing his music to evolve organically while staying true to his artistic vision.

The Shift from Hip-Hop

Sahir's evolution from hip-hop to R&B is marked by explorations across multiple genres. "I have not just shifted from hip hop to R&B. There were explorations in many genres in between," he reveals. This journey of evolution has been fuelled by continuous learning and honing his vocal range. Transitioning from rapper to producer, singer, songwriter, and engineer has deepened his admiration for music and its various facets. "For now, I just want to create dance, feel-good soul music," he shares, indicating his current creative direction.

Magic Dust

Sahir is brimming with excitement about his upcoming projects. "I am creating a whole new world of disco and dance fused with fashion and edgy visuals," he enthuses. He looks forward to performing more with his band, ‘The Magicians’ and is eagerly anticipating the release of new visuals and an EP with the band. His upcoming projects promise a fusion of sonic and visual elements, creating an immersive experience for his audience. "A few new visuals and a new EP with The Magicians called 'Magic Dust' are on the horizon," he teases.

Key Lessons

Reflecting on his journey, Sahir shares valuable lessons from the ever-evolving music industry. "The music industry is evolving every three years. Keeping up with software and legality is key to staying afloat and in the music game," he advises. He underscores the importance of marketing, noting that even the best creations need strategic promotion to gain recognition.

"You will not win every time, but when we lose, the lesson learned is crucial," he adds, emphasizing the importance of resilience and continuous learning in the face of challenges.

The Magicians

Sahir's recent live performance at AntiSocial with The Magicians rekindled his passion for live music. "It’s been a while since I went live, and coming to AntiSocial with The Magicians was such a vibe," he recalls. The audience's enthusiastic response, singing along word for word, reignited his love for live performances. "The show has inspired so much inside me, and a lot of my new music will be in the direction of playing live," he reveals, hinting at more live shows in the future.
