Below is a brief interview Virtual Afghans recently had with Obaid congratulating him on receiving this honorable award.

What was your reaction when you heard the news about the award?
Obaid: I was abroad doing a show whilst the ATN authority wanted to contact me and break the news of me being voted for the nomination and after about 4 days when I returned home I had around tens of voice messages left in my voicemail informing me about the news and asking me to contact them. I was overwhelmed with pride and energy. That’s how I can recall the moment.

What does this award mean to you?
Obaid: This award is a payoff for my hard work and sleepless nights working on my music. It definitely is a great source of pride, confidence, determination and more dedicated energy towards my music.
What is the next step; are you working on anything new?
Obaid: The very next step is already taken and it is my new album which I have been working on for past the past two years; which it came to a completion recently and I
have tried hard to put a firm forward step for our new music generation. I hope my past two years worth of hardship and struggle which I had on board along with
making this album will be a good justice for the honor I have already received.

Tell us more about your new and upcoming album or video projects?
Obaid: At the moment, I am working along with ATN team of professionals to picturise (Aghaz) my new and upcoming audio album which consists of 8 new tracks.

Can you provide loyal visitors of Virtual Afghans any more details about your upcoming album?
Obaid:The title of the song is Aghaz (The Begining) and I am working effectively to at least get some of them videoed in order to promote the release of the album and
I am aiming to do do it inshallah by the Eid celebration. All I can tell about this album is that it ll show a new me with a 2 years of gap working towards the better afghan music and myself.

You have had concerts in Europe, how about a tour of North America?
Obaid: I’ll be having a world tour inshallah which ll start around Christmas and at some stage I am not sure about exact date it ll bring me to North America too and I am looking dead forward to that.
