ADNAN SAMI TO BE HONOURED WITH AN AWARD OF RECOGNITION

One of the most successful artists around the world, singer Adnan Sami will be honoured by the prestigious Award of Recognition on 21^st March 2013 by the Speaker at the Legislature at Queen’s Park, the Ontario Parliament, Canada. He will be given this honour for his extraordinary ability to promote and celebrate the South Asian heritage through arts, culture and music. A special reception for him will also be organized by Dr Shafiq Qaadri, Member of Provincial Parliament, Etobicoke North and he will be given a guided tour on the floors of Parliament.

“God has blessed me with the in-born talent for which I pour my heart out in the form of music. I can never stop thanking God because my music influences people in their respective lives. If my life and music brings a smile or makes a difference in any individual’s life, then there is nothing beyond for me as a God’s gift. I bow my head in humility for receiving this honour from such an esteemed house,” exclaims Adnan.

In 2008, Adnan was honoured with the similar award by the House of Commons in Britain and now he is back after a 3 year hiatus with his brand new studio album ‘PRESS PLAY’. As a classical pianist, he has rendered solo performances before heads of state. As a popular artiste, he has hit the right note with Indi pop and struck a chord with Gen Next. Touted as having the fastest fingers on the keyboard, Adnan is a globetrotter not only because of the divergent geographical bearings of his career but also due to his range as a musician.

Adnan has been enthralling Indian audiences since his first release. In his career of 25 years, Adnan has won many International Awards including the Nigar Award, Bolan Academy Award, Graduate Award, Stardust Award etc. He has given a Special Award of U.N.I.C.E.F. and a United Nations Peace Medal for a song he wrote and performed for Africa.

Adnan is also performing on 22nd Mar 2013 at Roy Thomson Hall at Toronto, Canada. It is one of the most prestigious Halls in Canada, where he will be singing all his album hits, film hits and playing the piano.
