Farooque Bhai Project or Issa as Ivan knows him is one of the emerging Indie artists in Bangladesh. Though having lived in Toronto for over a decade, he's been honing his influences whilst always playing homage to his homeland by singing in his native tongue. Issa talks about his own process, why he released his album on 4-20, his influences whilst holding a guitar in his hand throughout.
He gives us a first hand demonstration of how he brings an idea in his head to life and shows us exclusively an insight into his process.
