Musicarian

Hello and welcome! Im Salman Anwer, the sole performer behind "Musicarian," where my passion for music takes center stage. My musical journey began at the tender age of 5 with a wooden banjo. Over the years, I explored a range of instruments, including the keyboard, flute, harmonica, and saxophone. However, it was the enchanting melodies of the guitar that truly captivated me. At 17, I picked up an acoustic guitar, marking the start of an incredible journey. My career has been deeply intertwined with the Pakistan music industry, where I have contributed as a session guitarist, lyricist, songwriter, and music composer for a variety of both mainstream and emerging artists. In the early 2000s, I began recording my guitar instrumentals from my home studio, a practice I continue to this day. My musical preferences span Jazz, Rock, Blues, Latin, and many other genres, each adding a unique flavor to my compositions. You can explore my previous work on Soundclick, and I regularly share short clips and guitar instrumentals on Facebook and Instagram. Feel free to join me on this musical adventure!

I've been playing guitars, composing, writing, performing and producing music for more than a decade now. (About 14 -15 years..)

Yes ! I've been playing live with the main stream artists of Pakistan for last 14 years at almost each and every venue of Karachi city.. I love it and I think a guitar player always loves it. About the special moments. I would say, the first professional live performance was special for me cuz there were 16,000 people enjoying the show.

I make music being inspired by Nature, Life, Feelings, Memories and Imaginations.. All my music is based on my own imaginations and feelings. The way, I see things.. and to do this, I need to keep myself into many other music genres cuz sometime, I don't get the right expressions from a particular music genre for my idea.. So I compose music in any other genre to express it. I've been listening to a lot of music, musicians and artists very carefully and I usually work in, Jazz, Rock, Blues & a touch of Latin and Spanish styles. Currently working on some a few improvisations in Eastern Classical as well as Jazz and R & B stuff.. My major influences are Carlos Santana, George Benson, Eric Clapton, Kenny-G and a local guitar veteran Aamir Zaki.

I have 9 guitars at the moment(as I've been into guitar customization) including Acoustic, Spanish(Nylon String), Semi Acoustic, Leads and Bass guitars. Most of my guitars are either a combination of the unbraded bodies with branded pickups or some vintage classic Japanese collector's itoms. I usually don't purchase instruments, seeing the brand name on headstocks but it should have a nice tone and good playability, that's my theory.. Some other gadgets including stomp boxes (normally Boss and DOD) , A big (Yamaha) guitar amp, as well as the music software including FL Studio 4, Wavelab and Cakewalk.

Yeah ! The message of Humanity, Love, Peace, Patience, Spirit, Dedication, Brotherhood and a kind heart for everyone. That's what I want to say, with my music as well.
