Press Release

Berlin, 5th June 2017

Usama Siddiq is a Pakistani singer-songwriter and producer. He currently resides in Berlin. His latest release, ‘In Hindsight’, is the first of three volumes from his debut album ‘Back to the Basics’.

The album is a melting pot of a diverse set of timeless musical influences including rock, folk, blues, pop and even a bit of country! At the same time, the compositions invoke a subliminal sensation of originating from the east, which can be felt in the percussions, vocalisations, time-signatures and arrangements.

Back to the Basics – Vol. I: In Hindsight can be streamed on major digital platforms including Soundcloud, Spotify, Deezer and Pandora. Downloads are available exclusively on Bandcamp.
