Zameer who was born in Pakistan and grew up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia until age 11, now lives in Mississauga, Canada, is an award winning musician ranked amongst Toronto’s top10 performers by the world’s largest music festival, Emergenza. Our sources from the closet have revealed to us that Zameer who regularly collaborates with his brother from the band Dead Shyre, and his cousins from the legendary Pakistani band Noori apparently will be part of the next season of Coke Studio which will air in the summers of 2011.
Zameer’s influences range from bands like Wham and N’Sync, Metallica and Alice In Chains, all the way to Eric Clapton and Sting. The result has spun Zameer’s music into a unique pop/rock fiber that attracted five-time Grammy award-winning producer, Steve Thompson, to produce his work (Steve has produced Madonna, John Lennon and several others).

Zameer Rizvi is a Canada based musician and released his great debut album From under the bleachers in 2009, here is a little Q & A session with him, done by myself.
1). Why do you think your album release didn’t get you the popularity of a white skinned artist would have gotten with the type of the songs on your debut album “under the bleachers”, Is it a defect in Marketing from your part or are the music purchasers to blame here?
I think good music transcends skin colour. I feel that the success of my debut album was neither helped nor hindered by my race. I think our marketing was really successful actually! Without expecting it, one of my songs was licensed by the Paralympics, I had the opportunity to perform on a cruise with John Mayer, my album was produced by a 5 time Grammy award winner, and I toured North America, Europe and Pakistan, all while maintaining a very comfortable living.
2). Are you satisfied with the response for the album ,”under the bleachers”?
I’m thrilled with the response! It was a self-released album, and my expectations were in proportion to that. I didn’t expect this to sell millions. An album release on iTunes costs $20 and anyone can put anything up for sale there. That’s what I did, and hoped for the best. I got more than I asked for and I’m grateful for the wonderful response.
