Jimmy Attre was bornin Lahore and grandson of Legendry pakistani music composer Rasheed Attre Years ago when I was barely three or four, a popular classical song doing the rounds those days on both TV and radio caught my fancy. It had such a beguiling melody that young as I was I couldnt help humming the tune. A toddler trying to hum a classical song was, for my music loving family a source of endless delight. So much so that they paraded me in front of a prominent tabla maestro that very day. On listening to me humming that tune he was greatly astonished to see a mere three year old actually keep pace with the tabla without skipping a beat and on a classical beat at that. Indeed he was so pleased that he gave me an Atari set as a a prize!
It was only years later that I found out that the song Bawry Chakori had been composed by my grandfather Rasheed Attre.
Later on when we shifted back to Pakistan I started proper training in vocals and guitars. I was imparted this training by my own father who had full faith in my abilities. As time passed my passion grew till one fateful day I realised that this is how I want to spend the rest of my life. Things started to take a clear shape in my mind, and I could see what I had to do with my life.
