“I have been singing since childhood, and no one has taught me. All I learned is from social media and YouTube.

For my success, I would like to give special credit to my father, who was always there for me,” Afaq told KNO.
“Before reaching the Indian Idol auditions, I had given many auditions, and I told them I hadn’t learned anywhere and I would sing without a band. The judges appreciated me and said I had to sing with a band and music. Alhamdulillah, I performed well,” he added.
Afaq’s versatile singing style and heartfelt renditions have garnered him a massive fan following and appreciation from the music industry luminaries and all walks of life in Jammu and Kashmir—(KNO)
