	Shahvaar Ali Khan graduated in Economics & International Studies from [[Trinity College, Hartford\|Trinity College]] in Hartford Connecticut after attending Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, MA, USA ~~and Lahore Grammar School~~. After meandering from Investment Banking in New York to the Petroleum Industry in Pakistan the passion for music, entertainment, writing, an amalgamation of business acumen, people skills and penchant for creativity landed Shahvaar in Advertising. Shahvaar found the whole ad man lifestyle intriguing in the company of some extremely artistic peers and incisive clients, which helped him understand the pulse of the audience. Concurrently, Shahvaar started singularly focusing on his Music, singing, songwriting/writing since 2008 and did a soft/viral internet availability of his first song "NO SAAZISH, NO JANG – Peace NOT Pieces" (NSNJ) on his website as an experiment.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.thesaturdaypost.com/rendezvous_194_shavar_khan.htm \|title=The Saturday Post \|publisher=The Saturday Post \|date= \|accessdate=22 April 2011}}</ref><ref>[http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/aug2010-weekly/nos-15-08-2010/spr.htm#3 The News on Sunday – Shahvaar Ali Khan, Hidden in the microcosm of music]</ref>		Shahvaar Ali Khan graduated in Economics & International Studies from [[Trinity College, Hartford\|Trinity College]] in Hartford Connecticut after attending Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, MA, USA.

	Even without a Music Video-launching pad or a single advertising dollar spent on promoting NSNJ, Shahvaar found himself sharing print space with the likes of Shahrukh Khan and Michael Jackson as Front Page news on many Pakistani and Indian Newspapers/Magazines including The News Instep, The Times of India (Delhi/Bombay Times), The Hindu, The Daily Jang, MSN India, Yahoo India, The Asian Age – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, London, Deccan Chronicle, India, News Today, India, The Daily Siasat, India, USA Today, Hum Shehri (Urdu), Pakistan, India News (Hindi), Bombay Mid Day, Daily Pakistan (Urdu), etc. including a few Bollywood websites. However, despite the response, contrary to his expectations the struggle for Shahvaar had just begun. It took him close to two years to find the right concept and Director for his Music Video.
