Riot Arts Receives Outstanding Response From Audiences and Musicians Alike.

[Pakistan, 3rd June 2014]: Farhad Humayun’s ambitious project Riot Arts, has been receiving

a tremendous response from musicians and audiences alike. The website, which Farhad planned

earlier this year as a platform to provide musicians with international exposure, as well as an

alternative to on-again off-again YouTube, went live last month.

The YouTube ban has made musicians suffer, as it has lessened their international exposure

resulting in less shows and tours abroad. While others have been waiting for Youtube to re-emerge,

Farhad decided not to wait around, and instead find and initiate a solution by launching a website

dedicated solely to Pakistani musicians. Through Riot Arts, musicians can upload their videos on

the website and promote them across a wide number of audiences locally and internationally. The

thought behind starting Riot Arts was to have the entire Pakistani music industry on one website,

so that fans of these musicians across the board, are kept updated with what is going on in the

Pakistani music industry.

Congratulating Farhad on this venture, messages from various musicians came flooding in.

“Great initiative Farhad. Good Luck!” Rohail Hyatt

“Hurrah! Good going! Will upload some stuff soon!” Zoe Viccaji

“Great initiative Farhad. One person with courage is majority. More power to the artists of Pakistan”

Salman Ahmed

The ever growing list of artists featured on Riot Arts currently includes Overload, Siege, Strings,

Faakhir as well as a few upcoming musicians.
