Mahmood Khan’s “Songs Are People”

Since the initial years of the music industry, there have been some musicians who have completely different beliefs than other artists. For instance, Michael Jackson always worked under his own production house and never felt the need to approach any other music producer than himself to launch his music. Same is the case with Mahmood Khan. Since the beginning of his career, Khan has always worked under his own label including his first album.




Today, Mahmood Khan is a renowned musician with the skills of a music producer, a songwriter, a singer, and a filmmaker. He was never in the favor of pleasing someone else to launch his work. Believing that there are already tons of artists who are waiting to get their work launched, Khan was inclined towards having his own production house.  So, his first album, “Fairytale”, was released under his own record label in 1995. Even though it was not a huge success commercially, Khan never gave up the idea of being his own boss and further continued to sell albums under his own production house only.

However, over the years Mahmood Khan is widely known across the world as a musician of all times. He is exceptionally good at almost every genre of music. Not only this, he has been credited with the crown of creating two genres of music, the Modern Funk and the Hip Hop.
Currently, Khan’s record label is named “Songs Are People” and all his works are launched under this only. This production house has become famous over the years, due to its individuality and the kind of music it delivers. Mostly, all the releases of Songs Are People are a self production of Mahmood Khan.

Since its establishment, Khan has given some exceptionally great works from Songs Are People including, “Beqarar, Like the River”, and many more. With the various skills that he possesses, Khan is recognized with many national and international music awards.

Khan is deeply inspired by the works of Barry Gibb when it comes to music production. Indeed, Songs Are People is a great depiction of Khan’s talent as a music producer. His most prominent works include the sound track “We Could Be Paradise”, which was sung by 40 Australian artists including Khan, and was produced by Mahmood Khan only.

The Bee Gees Fan Helps Create A New Music Genre

They say music knows no language; yet it is capable of saying it all and being understood in a better way than any other language in the world.

The excellent music of the Gibb Brothers, namely Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb and Maurice Gibb, is something that is an inspiration for millions. There are many artists such as Mahmood Khan who have grown up listening to the music by this trio. As it stays on, there are still many aspiring artists who cherish the work of Gibb Brothers.

Mahmood Khan - The King Of Sufi

Some music forms entertain us; some make us groove, and then there are some that touch us deep within our heart. It is correctly said that when we are happy, we enjoy the music; and when we are upset, we understand the lyrics. One such form of music is Sufi music. Widely accepted and loved mainly in Asian countries, Sufism has now spread as a culture all over the world. The credit for this goes to many Asian artists such as Mahmood Khan.

Mahmood Khan comes from an ordinary background in Pakistan, the country known as the Hub of Sufi music. Pakistan has given artists such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mahmood Khan, who widened the scope of this genre of music all over the globe.

Mahmood Khan has given music in almost all genres of music. Not only this, he is also acclaimed with the honor for giving birth to today’s most loved genres of music, The Modern Funk and the Hip Hop.






Sufi music is in the blood and genes of Khan. He has given hits such as “Ajnabi, Agar, and Tere Beghair”, all representing Sufi. There is no doubt Khan has given great contribution in popularizing Sufism in western countries like the USA and Australia.

Sufi Music was initially brought to Australia by artists like Sharif Jansen, who also established the organization ‘Sufi Movement in Australia’ (SMIA). It was back in 1950’s that the western culture got exposed to this genre of music. Not only this, they also embraced it with open arms and appreciated the artists of this genre. After Jansen’s death in 1990, this movement is still going strong and has established centers in other western countries as well. This SMIA is currently very active in Australia and the USA and releases a weekly journal called “Spirit Matters”. This is one of the most loved journals in the west.

Next generation artists such as Mahmood Khan are deeply involved in keeping the popularity of Sufi music alive in the western countries. When Khan performs, his fans say that there is an aura of ultimate divinity that touches their mind, body, and soul, inside out. Undoubtedly, Khan is a man of morals who has still remained grounded to his roots and is still the most successful cross-over artist.   

Mahmood Khan’s Tribute To The Bee Gees

They say behind every successful man, there is a woman. However, practicality says, behind every successful artist, there is an inspiration. All of us have seen many great artists and well-known public figures, being grateful to someone or the other for making them reach where they are today. Indeed, being humble is an important attribute when you are famous. The same applies to the music industry. Only the way of expression is a little different. In the music world, we do not say, we sing our heart out. Mahmood Khan has done something similar for the credit holders of his mainstream success.

As the world knows him today, Khan is a multi-talented artist who possesses qualities of song writing, music production, singing, and film making. But beyond all of this, Mahmood Khan is a modest and grateful person who always shows his gratitude towards the people he loves.

Marking the initial years of his music career, Khan received lots of love and motivation from the famous Bee Gees. The three Gibb brothers of the Bee Gees have had a great impact on Khan’s personal and professional life. While Khan learned a lot about music production from Barry Gibb, he imbibed all the technicalities of music from Robin and Maurice (the other two members of the Bee Gees).

As a token of gratefulness, Khan composed a song called “Secret Place” as a Tribute to the Bee Gees. This song was very finely produced, well written, and greatly instrumented by Khan. This shows the impact all the three Gibb Brothers have on Mahmood Khan.

This song was greatly loved by Khan’s fans as well. However, more than anything else, it was something close to Khan’s heart. As mentioned, Mahmood Khan shared relationships with the Gibb Brothers at different levels, his memories, too, are different with all of them.

Sadly, Barry Gibb is the only surviving member of the Bee Gees. At the demise of Robin and Maurice, Khan dedicated different albums to them showing his sorrow of their loss. In an interview lately, Khan accepted that the Gibb brothers are the people who inspired him the most and are one of those who have made him what he is today.

Indeed, Mahmood Khan is deeply attached to the Bee Gees and his tribute to them is just another way of showcasing the same.

Mahmood Khan And Maurice Gibb Connection

Often referred to as a “Distinguished Talent”, the creator of a new genre of music, the man who has the ability to touch the heart; Mahmood Khan is a terrific musician, who excels in the fields of music production, singing, song writing, and even film making. Originally from Pakistan, Khan became the first artist to get many international acclaims. He is the first Pakistani to perform live at the Sydney Opera House in Australia.

For a man to achieve so much in a fifteen year career is a big thing. What supported him is a big question. Well, the answer is very clear. Khan belonged to an ordinary family in Lahore, Pakistan and all that he had as a background support were his idols in life.

Mahmood Khan grew up being a huge fan of the Bee Gees, the pop star band in the USA. The popular Gibb Brothers, the Bee Gees, were Khan's first and the biggest inspirations in life. The music band was a group of three brothers; namely, Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb and Barry Gibb. It was during his childhood that Khan listened to the records of the Bee Gees and became their fan.



While Khan had a close relationship with all three of them, he had an altogether different connection with Barry. With Robin and Maurice, Khan was a friend. However, Barry is a father figure for him.
Khan was more attached with Maurice. They both had a brother like relationship, in which they respected and loved each other. Khan met Maurice when he moved to LA, USA in the late 1980’s, when he had a petty job but big dreams for the music industry. This turned into a deep and lasting friendship with Mahmood Khan, when he gave the nickname "Mo" to Maurice.

On the demise of Maurice, Khan was deeply moved and could not bear the shock for quite some time. As a medium to express his love and affection for Maurice, Khan wrote a song “Am Trying”, which he also produced.

In the memory of his lost friend, Khan said to the media that Mo will always be missed by him and it is really important that the music by the Bee Gees remains and inspires everyone in the world. He also added that he feels blessed to have known Maurice in his life and all the moments spent with him will only get more special with time.
