About the Band Fuzon
Fuzon was created by Emu and the lead guitarist, Shallum Xavier. The band loves to experiment and mix different types of music and sounds. That's why they chose the name 'Fuzon', which sounds like 'fusion' – meaning a mix of things.
Fuzon became a huge music sensation in Pakistan and India. They have broken many records both at home and in other countries. Fuzon combines beautiful melodies with pop and rock music. This has helped them create a very special place for themselves in the music world.
Fuzon became very popular with their first album, Saagar. This album had 12 songs. All the songs mixed pop melodies with traditional Pakistani classical and folk singing. The first song on the album, Aakhon Kay Saagar, quickly made them famous in Pakistan.
