Currently signed with Prestige Records in the UK, Khan rose to popularity with his debut single, Ni Nachleh. In 2009 he launched his latest album in the UK entitled Unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>Imran\u2019s strive for a breakthrough, can be seen in both his creativity and his looks.<br \/>\nHis unique voice shows resemblance with his smooth looks. Both aspects represent his tough and perseverance mentality. Far away from his regular habits and musical dogmas, he improvises and writes enthusiastically.<\/p>\n<p>Being a true tough fellow, he follows his own path, avoiding easy often-used roads. Not just to prove himself, but more to further develop his vocal talent independently and without barriers. His perseverance is not that hard to understand. His special connection with music is stimulated ever since he was a little child. His musical preference is Punjabi, R&#8217;n&#8217;B, HipHop, Reggae, Drum N Bass, Garage, 2 step, Reggeaton, Pop, Dance, Techno and House.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays a lot of new albums come on the market and a lot of artists try to break through. The latest technical tricks are used to purify voices, the weirdest tunes are made up just to be unique and lyrics are copied from old songs. In this era Imran was inspired to go for it.<\/p>\n<p>He decided to begin his career as a singer. Why? Because he believed he could do better. Imran was inspired by good Punjabi artists like Chan Chamkila Didar Sandhu, Mohammed Saddiq, and R&#038;B Singers.<br \/>\nAsiance interviewed Imran from London and we\u2019re hoping to see more of him in the states. <\/i><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>ASIANCE: What do you think of Jay Sean\u2019s success? <\/h3>\n<p><b>Imran:<\/b> I think he\u2019s done good for Asian artists.
