Faizan Awan, son of Parvaiz Awan is a beatboxer, born on 26th November 1998 in Karachi, Pakistan. His father belongs from Karachi and his mother is from Abbottabad. He attended various schools but did his matriculation from Kids University. He did his intermediate from Askari Intermediate College

He initially started practicing the art of beatboxing in seventh grade where he got fascinated by his cousin who was very good at it. He had an element of jealousy on why he can’t do this. One of his friends also challenged him that he can’t do this and he felt bad at that time and that anxiousness also led him to learn this and prove his surrounding people wrong. When he started practicing it was difficult for him but he knew that this will required consistency and patience to meet his goal and ambition of becoming something different.

He started practicing the beat of a famous song back in 2012, “Waderai ka Beta” by Ali Gul Pir and It took him three years where he tried to create voices after hours of practicing. Eventually, he started doing the first 15 seconds of the song and performed in front of his family where he got a lot of praise. In 2016, it was his moment as he performed the complete beat of the song and it took him four years to achieve his little goal of life where he proved some individuals wrong.

It was the time where he didn’t know that he would be able to perform at some big places but his hard work caught the attention of more individuals and he took his art to different universities of Karachi. The notables names of institutions are Institue of Business Administration (IBA), institute of Business Management (IOBM), commonly known as CBM, Greenwich University, University of Karachi, and his university where he is an undergraduate, Iqra University and few music festivals too around the city.

He is currently doing media sciences and his majors is advertising. It is his fourth and final year. Apart from beatboxing, he is fully focused on what he is studying and also wants to pursue in the related field. He has worked as an Assistant Director in three television commercials. He also did an internship in an advertising agency too. He also worked in one of the biggest productions of the industry MD productions as an AD. Currently, he is working in Parfaire PR and Events.
