Passionate about storytelling through sound, he combines technical expertise with artistic vision to write, produce, and craft impactful musical and audio experiences that connect with audiences. ## In his own words It all started back in 2012 when I was introduced to an amazing instrument: the guitar. I knew I needed to learn it for my sanity. I formed a band right away called Those Retards — we worked on a few original songs and played a few shows. A few years later I started producing music and have been working with a lot of new artists since. It's been a joy collaborating across different people and cultures. One of my biggest projects was San Diego Comic-Con 2019, where I scored a few pieces and voiced a couple of characters for a comic series. My YouTube channel exists to capture not just my guitar playing, but everything I do — solo and in collaboration. Cheers. ## Areas of expertise - Music production - Audio engineering - Film scoring - Sound design - Mixing and mastering - Composition - Guitar performance - Sonic branding ## Profiles - linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abubakarzahid94 - youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@AbuBakarZahid - imdb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12369947/ - spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1vsRY1hLmqEBXcx5xeKs0m - appleMusic: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/abu-bakar-zahid/1654787374 - deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/artist/190524117 - soundcloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/EnpcD - instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abubakarzahid94/ - facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abubakarzahid9400/ - twitter: https://twitter.com/abubakarzahid94 - soundsOfPakistan: https://soundsofpakistan.com/artist/abu-bakar-zahid/ ## Frequently asked questions ### Who is Abu Bakar Zahid?
