While going through all of middle school and half of high school with braces, Shazad Juman, knew then that he wanted perfect teeth and he wanted to help people get perfect teeth. Going to school to be a Dentist is not his only passion, but his other true passion is music. Not only does Shazad have dental school at the University of Minnesota in the fall to keep him busy, he also is the lead singer of a band that goes by the name of Ehsaas, which means desire in Hindi. Shazad and his band came up with this name just by brainstorming with the band members and the name just stuck. The band is very unique because of the simple fact that the band sings Indian songs that are in Hindi. This is the type of music that inspires Shazad and his band mates so that is the type of music they perform. “Our audience is usually comprised of international people that appreciate the culture and language.” Shazad says about his audience. I was very intrigued that with such high goal for a career as a dental student, Shazad has the time to still share his love of music with fans, and also has time to work a part –time job at Wells Fargo as well. Shazad listens to mostly Indian singers for musical influence, but also uses American artists like Ne-Yo and Jay Sean for some inspiration. “I met Jay Sean a few years ago. He actually was in Medical School then decided to pursue a musical career. His courage inspires me not just in music.”
