As a child, he never thought he would become a singer. He once hosted a college event where his professors asked him to sing. Hesitantly, he sang a few lines of "Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein," and this experience motivated him to pursue a career in singing.

He graduated from University of Central Punjab's Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) and later did his Master's from the National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore.
