Fuzön (Urdu: فیوزن, literal English pronunciation: "fusion") is a sufi rock band from Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan formed in 2001. The name was derived from fusion, as the former vocalist Shafqat Amanat Ali describes the band as a fusion of Hindustani classical and modern soft rock music blended with the Sufi Style of singing.

The Fuzön art insists on setting feelings above mere technique and creating an individualistic genre of mold-breaking music.

Fuzön encompasses hybrid styles of exquisite melodies and everlasting pop/rock instrumentation.

History

Shallum Asher Xavier and Imran Momina were the founding members, who decided to put their heads together as they realised the similarities between their musical ideas and tastes.

Meanwhile, Shafqat Amanat Ali who had been singing for a few years had happened to drop into Immo's recording studio for an assignment. Shafqat's vocals so impressed the duo, that he was signed up with Shallum and Immu to form the band "Fuzön".

Shafqat had to leave the band to concentrate more on his solo projects. He was replaced by Rameez Mukhtar.
