Azim’s story has a centerpiece that is defined and influenced by a love and respect for the music of Pink Floyd. After being exposed to rare recordings of Pink Floyd from the 70’s, Azim already a politically and socially-minded individual, was drawn to Floyd’s groundbreaking work. Azim turned this passion for Pink Floyd into his own vehicle of self-expression in 1993 with the formation of Comfortably Numb. Born out of a desire to put on a large scale, multi-media show and to satisfy a growing audience of Pink Floyd fans, the transition was a natural one. Fans who had heard Azim perform described him as ‘playing like David Gilmour’ and ‘sounding like Roger Waters.’ AK has spent the last 15 years developing and redeveloping ‘Comfortably Numb’, not only musically but band and team personnel. The show has grown significantly with help from companies like XYGRGB (XYZRGB: 3D company who have worked on films like, The Lord Of The Rings, Batman Begins, King Kong and more), Prism management Group, moffatt mediagroup and NOC Visuals. An immense amount of time and effort is spent on the visual element of the show to produce a spectacular performance and a truly magnificent 70’s Pink Floyd experience. AK has always felt that Comfortably Numb is not a “clone act” but a show based on what Pink Floyd did in the 70’s, A dynamic show that evolved and changed from night to night. One where songs developed and changed directions rather than a stagnant predictable ‘album version – note for note’. After years of on-going sold out shows and success the band added the label ‘Canada’s Pink Floyd Show’ – which for Azim was a very proud moment. In addition to his work with Comfortably Numb, Azim owns and operates a successful music school. He has also recently released his first solo album with The AK Project, Outside The Cage. The album has enjoyed both critical and commercial success has been a featured album on influential indie music sites like garageband.com.
