Qayaas is Unadulterated Rock Music embracing Hope in the face of Anarchy
Eva Dowd started representing Umair Jaswal and his band Qayaas in 2011 and now represents Umair's Solo Career .
Qayaas was the first progressive alternative rock band from Pakistan, a country where traditionally music has been looked down upon rather than being celebrated as an art form. This gave their music a sense of rebellion and a rallying cry for pathos. Qayaas with Umair Jaswal took Pakistan by storm to become the country's #1 Rock Band while giving hope to youth that music can be created against all odds despite hostile environment that shuns freedom of speech and Rock Music.
Awards and Accomplishments:
