Fahmil Khan completed his degree in electronic engineering and wanted to be a techie. But his passion for music and ambition to become a playback singer saw him leaving his engineering career. Originally from Kerala, Fahmil grew up in Dubai and attended the Indian High School. He then pursued Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at BITS Pilani Dubai, where he trained as an engineer who worked on circuits and connections. He shared, “I transformed those skills to connect with the guitar. And what began with strumming the guitar, led to private gigs purely by word of mouth. After that, there was no slowing down. Right now, I am in the middle of a wonderful adventure and have a long way to go as I continue to fill in the pages that unfold with a symphony of sound.”

A self-taught musician, Fahmil started by organizing jam sessions in cafes in the UAE, before slowly moving on to private shows all over the world. To chase his dream, Fahmil started organizing jamming sessions called ‘Unplugged Wednesday’ in the reputed cafes of UAE. His sessions were loved by many which made the way for Fahmil to start private shows in many countries of the world. His shows got jam-packed and got sold out within no time. It was his moment and he never looked back after it.

Fahmil’s melodious voice has created magic and he has recreated many hit songs from the 90s leaving his fans in awe of him. His original composition ‘Oye Rabba’ was released on Zee TV’s popular show ‘Zee Garage’ Season 1 and his cover version of ‘Dhadak’ was also launched by Zee Music Middle East which got an overwhelming response from everyone. 

With performing live at popular venues like Headlines Cafe, Bar Baar, and C House Milano Cafe in the UAE, he has also performed in many clubs in Mumbai like R-Adda, Bombay Adda, and Tanatan. Besides this, Fahmil has also performed in association with legends like Ghulam Ali, Gopi Sundar, and Keba Jeremiah. “Life is all about taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone. I am glad that I chose music over-engineering and also succeeded in it,” he stated. The singer has the credential of being the first Bollywood musician to give a solo performance at the Sikka Art Fair in Dubai. His band named ‘On The Rocks’ mostly performs Bollywood retro music, Sufi, and pop music.
