Abbas has had a strong passion for music since an early age. He completed his Bachelors degree in Music theory and composition from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and then his Masters degree in Classical Guitar from SMU in Dallas where he performed in masterclass for Manuel Barrueco and Pepe Romero.
A few years later, he returned to Pakistan and started his own music studio and production house.
He has since taken up the Mohanveena an instrument that is a modern hybrid between a guitar and a sitar and has been actively studying Indian Classical music and has taken instruction from the legendary sitar player Ustad Rais Khan.
Abbas firmly believes that the vast emotional library of Eastern music needs to be introduced to the West but in a manner that is culturally and socially relevant. His debut album “Elements” is a hint of the direction in which he intends to go. For a complete Biography of Abbas Premjee please download his CV.
