= “Being a musician is the most fun you can have while working. It can be a struggle but what keeps me going is playing music. Playing music is what makes me happy and I want to share my happiness with the world.” Mooshan Mubarik, a versatile, full time musician started off his musical career by performing with bands and fellow musicians during his school years in the 2000’s.
