About Ankur Sharma:

I am currently living and studying medicine in Tianjin, China. I have lived in China for the past 4.5 years. Originally, I'm from New Jersey in the U.S. You can probably call me a musicphile. I will go to almost any show for any type of music and listen to punk, ska, rock, indie, electro, metal, industrial, blues, jazz, big band, folk, pop, hip-hop, and everything in between. I sing and play instruments poorly so it doesn't satisfy my personal need to be involved in music. I substitute that feeling by writing lyrics, promoting shows, trying to produce music, write about music, and anything else that gets me involved in the process.

THE SONG:

FAVORITE SONG AND BAND FROM COUNTRY OF BIRTH: 9mm And A Three Piece Suit by Catch 22

WHEN IS NOT ABOUT MUSIC IS ABOUT... Studying and Running
