Paranoïa - Music

Fuad Fuad Has Been Playing Music Since The Days Of 'Alvin And The Chipmunks' …a Junior High School Death Metal Band Was The Start Of Fuad’s On-Stage Rock Gigs. Born Into A Typical "cultural" Bangladeshi Family Fuad Started Performing On Stage From The Age Of 6. He Plays Bass Keyboards Drums And Rhythm Guitar. A Strong Love For Music And Performance Fused With A Drive For Success Made Fuad Take Up Music As A Career. He Is The Music Director At W4 Records West4 Group And Has His Own Recording Studio In NYC.
Fuad's Role In Zefyr Is Quite Complicated. Zefyr Made Appearances In Two Mixed Albums By West4 Records In Which Fuad Was The Vocalist He Also Played Bass Guitars Keyboards And Engineered The Sessions. But Live Shows And Studio Recordings Are So Different Because He Can't Play His First Instrument - Drums - And Simultaneously Sing In The Live Shows. Therefore Tuman Was Chosen To Take Over The Vocal Duties In The Band.
Fuad Also Performs With Many Renowned Bangladeshi Artists Such As Babey Nazneen Tapan Chowdhury Andrew Kishore Kumar Bishwajit Konok Chapa Mumtaj Baul Sabina Yasmin Asif Jewel Shaqila Zafr Shuvra Dev Ayub Bachchu Ankhi Alamgir Rizia Parvin Bappy Laheri And Various Others On Their US Tours.

Richard The Founding Member Of Zefyr Richard Has Been Strumming And Tapping His Guitar Since The Days Of Ripped Jeans White Hi-Top Sneakers And Metallica T-Shirts. Fortunately As Time Passed Richard's Clothing Improved As Did His Playing. His Style Ranges From Eastern Folk/traditional To Western Blues Rock.
Richard's Best Attribute Is His Ability To Create Ingeniously Sly Solos On The Spot. His Fingers Flow Naturally Hitting Just The Right Notes To Create Beautiful Masterpieces. His Worst Quality Is His Inability To Remember Those Beautiful Solos For The Next Session Richard Performs With Many Illustrious Bangladeshi Artists Such As Manna Dey Babey Nazneen Tapan Chowdhury Andrew Kishore Kumar Bishwajit Konok Chapa And Many Others.
Richard Loves The Attacking Sound Of Ibanez Guitars He Plays A Custom Made Ibanez S1520FB Model - Two Quantum Series Humbuckers Special 5 Wiring And A Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo. Paul A Band Called DHRUBO Early 90's - Bangladesh Was The Start For Paul's Music Career. Paul Joined Zefyr In 1999 After A Few Jam Sessions At Roxy Studios It Was Clear That Paul Was The Missing Link. He Has A Way Of Bringing All The Instruments Together With His Vibrant Style. In His Stage Persona He Has A Brooding Lifeless Pose But If You Listen You Can Hear The Great 'Silent Thunder'! Paul Is Heavily Into Classic Rock 80's Metal Alternative Rock Grunge And Soft Rock. Paul's Biggest Influences Include STP OZZY MEGADETH And Pink Floyd.
Paul Uses Warwick Corvette Classic Bass Fender Jazz Bass Crate Stacks And Heads Digitech And Zoom Processors. Paul's Playing Ranges From Funk-Rock To Soft-Rock To Hip-Hop To Metal. Tuman Tuman's Flirtation With Music Started At A Young Age When He First Discovered Classic Rock And Screamed Along With The Rebellious Lyrics. His Yells Soon Turned To Song And He's Been Singing On Brooklyn Rooftops Since. He Has Been An On And Off Member Of Zefyr Since 1997 But Only Recently Decided To Focus His Vocal Talents Wholeheartedly On The Band. His Electrifying Stage Persona Gives Zefyr An Adrenaline Boost On Top Of Their Caffeinated-Sugar-High In Live Performances.
His Diverse Musical Taste Ranges From Gipsy & Baul To Classical Over Jazz Electonica Roots Rock Reggae & Funk Among A Laundry List Of Other Genres.
Among Other Things Tuman Plays His Custom Made Vocal Chords And People's Patience And Abides By The Laws Of 420. Mahid The Newest Addition To The Zefyr Lineup Is Mahid. The Keyboardist Traces His Musical Roots To The Days Of Heavy Metal That Is The Metal Stick He Was Brought Up On . Fortunately That Heavy Metal Stick Was His Biggest Inspiration In Becoming The Keyboardist He Is Today. From An Early Age Mahid Learned And Loved Classical Music And This Can Definitely Be Felt In His Present Style.
His Greatest Influences Range From Elton John Richard Clayderman Jan Hammer Back In The Daze Of Miami Vice YEAH! Enigma Nirvana Metallica To Robert Miles And Pink Floyd. Mahid Enjoys Learning And Playing Various Genres Of Music And At The Risk Of Being Shot Yes He Admits He Likes Some Country! OH MY GOSH! Zefyr’s 5-Man Lineup Seems Rather Deadly Now Don’t You Think? We Thought So Too. Mahid Pounds Away The Keys Of His KORG Triton. read less
