February 2021. This was my final year playing with Black before I moved abroad - I had no idea back then that a new chapter was about to begin!

Music has given me so much, but the most precious gifts have always been the friendships and the deep connections made along the way. Jahan bhai is one of those incredible people. Almost every weekend, if we didn’t have a show, I’d head over to his office at the G-Series building. We’d sit and talk about everything - music, life, politics, history, the world. He would pull up historical events and songs, passionately explaining the 'why' and 'where' behind them.

Celebrating those amazing days and the bond we share! Here’s a throwback to us practicing "Obhiman" at our jam pad in Bata Signal, Dhanmondi.

We decided to try a "back-to-back" duet of Ode to Joy and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. It’s casual, it’s quick, and we definitely laughed a lot making it.
Happy New Year from the Rahim fam!

Here's a cover of the track "Overture 1928" originally by Dream Theater, recorded live at a recent concert in Toronto. Please listen to it on headphones or loudspeakers for a better listening experience. Cheers!

I made a full song about IUT (my alma mater) again, after nearly 10 years. This one was very special because this song and music video were created in memory of the IUTians who are no longer with us. Throughout the video, you'll see names of our fellow IUTians who have passed away — along with their batch numbers. Maybe it’ll bring back some memories, and maybe it’ll move you to say a prayer or two for those we've lost. The video was featured for the first time during IUT Grand Fest 2025, held in Toronto.
