Soul Fusion
NSoul Fusion is a rare fusion of tradition with modernity, of learning and skill with creativity and genius, of body and soul and finally of the East and West. Tauseef Akhtar and Cheryl come together in a rare meeting of traditions, languages, minds and aesthetics. The balance of melody and harmony, the play of power and softness, the alchemy of sensuality and intellect and finally the dialogue of styles, eras and languages creates an experience that God’s World is One. Soul Fusion has drawn from very diverse musical genres to arrive at a unique, hitherto unheard sound and musical structure.

Tauseef Akhtar was born to a venerated lineage of Indian musicians. He is the son of Akhtar Azad, the celebrated exponent of traditional qawwali. To his genetic inheritance he has added training under formidable titans like Ustad Dilshad Khan, Parveen Sultana, Jagjit Singh and Pt. Govind Prasad Jaipurwale.
Tauseef has been assistant and arranger for many years for Nadeem-Shravan in films like Ye Dil Aashiqanaa, Raaz, Andaaz, Hungama, Dil Hai Tumhara and many more and has sung for them in Tumse Accha Kaun Hai besides composing music for Aisa Kyon Hota Hai.

Cheryl began her career in singing at a tender age of 8. She was part of India’s first girl band Caliche and has lent her voice to numerous jingles and film songs.

Soul Fusion is set to give their first performance in the US. They became the first Indian Pop Fusion Duo who performed at the prestigious Winter NAMM on January 18. This concert is organised by M-Audio which is one of the biggest brands in Pro-Audio Equipments Manufacturing. Tauseef Akhtar is also their Brand Ambassador in India.
