He has performed for the legendary Ghulam Ali and shared the stage with popular artists in the Indian music industry including Gopi Sunder, Deepak Dev, A.R Rahman's lead guitarist Keba Jeremiah, and Sana Moidutty.
His other accomplishments include being associated with the music launch of Baahubali 2 in Dubai, performing with his band at Dubai's prestigious 'Sikka Art Fair' and being invited to open for this year's edition of the renowned UAE Bridal show. He also rocked the World's first Bollywood Cruise Party aboard Jalesh Cruises where he played alongside some of the World's best known DJs. Fahmil performed as part of the opening act for Ankit Tiwari at Yas Mega Mela Abudhbai, A three day extravaganza that host some of the best Bollywood talent. Fahmil also had the honour of performing for Faisal Kapadia of the renowned Pakistani pop band 'Strings' in a private session. The most recent virtual performance by Fahmil was for Sangit Kala Mandir Kolkota and Sangit Kala Kendra Mumbai, institutions that boast two and half decades of showcasing talent of eminent national and international artists including the likes of legends like Jagjit Singh, Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Sonu Nigam and Arijit to name a few. Fahmil's original composition 'Oye Rabba' was released on Zee Tv's Music Garage Season 1 while his cover version of 'Dhadak' was launched by Zee Music in the Middle East.
His latest single 'Kehta hai Dil' released by Zee Music garnered a great response within a short span since its debut. For now he continues to set his sights on playback singing for the Indian film industry. He knows it's a big dream but for someone who's lived and breathed music for as long as he can remember, he knows it's one he'll make come true.
