1. Tell us about your background and journey?
I am Hasan Ansari, I was born in a middle class family on 15 May 1997 in Moradabad, UP. I studied till intermediate from Rani Pritam School. Most of the people in my family are doctors and have a little interest in music. But I was very interested in music and performed in school from where I earned a little name when I used to copy songs and perform which is called cover song and did many stages but still the destination was not close. I had to learn a lot in music and I did learn too.
I wrote my first song in 2016 and when I performed at the farewell, people appreciated it a lot and told me to move ahead in music but my father is a Unani doctor. He did his medical studies from Jodhpur, Rajasthan and he is a famous doctor of the town, so he also wants that his son also becomes a doctor but I was also fond of music, so to some extent my family supported me in music but there was no support from the heart. They wanted me to first become a doctor and then step into the music industry.
2. When did you start Doctor career as a Musician?
I was fond of music since childhood but I needed an environment and exposure which I could not get in Moradabad area because there was not much priority and atmosphere for music. Then I took admission in college and wrote my first song there but it could not be released. I did a pharmacy diploma from college and after that I went to China to become a doctor because my family wanted an MBBS doctor and I was fond of visiting China since childhood… Along with studies, we did a lot of live shows there and made a name for ourselves in the university and got the title of Rockstar there because we gave a great performance there. We also had a group there which had a lot of talented artists and singers. So I started a music company IDS Music Records and there we started uploading our songs. We wrote, sang and composed ourselves.
Along with that, the music was also produced by the music producer of our team and we also made a music video and uploaded it on YouTube. The name of the song was Rabba Mera Yaar Mila De It became such a hit that today it has been listened to more than 2 lakh times and it is available on India's best music apps like Spotify. , got distributed on Apple Music and that song became the biggest hit evergreen song of my life which I and my friend Almass wrote and it got a lot of media PR promotion, an article was published on that song in Hindustan Times, so this was my game changer turn in music.
3. Is it financially sustainable to be a Doctor or Musician?
Music and doctor line or modeling line, nowadays money is required in every line but if you have passion and talent then you can do anything as much as I have done in music till now. People tell us to go to Mumbai, the city of dreams, to do something but I talked to Bollywood singer Raftaar on a video call while sitting at home and collaborated with him on one of his albums.
All this happened when I had released a remix of a respected woman track, which Raftaar bhai liked a lot and I wrote 4 songs for his album which has been released by Zee Music Company. I worked there as a writer and it has got more than 300 million streams till now but all this was like a dream for me and this happened during the time of Covid when everything was online, so I don't think now that money is needed to be successful but yes there are some places like in India if you take admission in MBBS then you may have to spend 1 crore or you can get a government seat with your hard work by passing NEET exam which is a difficult thing but not impossible and here I have reached this level of Bollywood without spending anything. Worked in the album of which is a big thing in itself.
4. What is your idea of success and your mantra in life ?
First of all, we dream of being successful and there is a doubt but don't think about that doubt and keep working hard with consistency, then being successful is a cakewalk but stand true and firm on that path as per your rules and keep working hard while walking but remember that you won't get the destination of success in a day but you will definitely get it one day like I would like to tell you that I have also completed MBBS which was a long journey but it got completed with this journey of music
See, there will definitely be rise and downfall in life, so when you grow you will be happy, if there is downfall you will not be happy because time does not remain the same because ups and downs will keep coming, it is a part of life and this is how life has been going on, so don't run away from problems, just stay firm, don't give up, so with this one mantra, today I am a doctor, singer, fashion model and have around 50k followers on Instagram which was just a dream and I have settled in the eyes of many artists of Bollywood And I am doing a lot of brand deals, collaborations are coming, people are knowing that fame is coming only and only through hard work.
5. What is your piece of advice for future aspiring Doctors/Musicians ?
Whoever wants to do anything in the future, just keep working hard and don't listen to anyone. Whoever speaks bad about you, let them speak, if they hate you, let them do it because you will run your house but not the words and taunts of people and the world will not fill your stomach.
I have also faced a lot of negativity but I didn't pay much attention to the words of people, who used to call me wrong, used to say that I will not be able to do anything and those same people who used to say that, today their abuses have become applause in my gathering because I didn't take their words to heart and kept moving in one direction, so whatever happens, you have to do it, tomorrow nobody will come to feed you, you will eat with your own hands, so keep working hard and don't pay attention to what people say and one day you will become very big, whatever you want to become.
6. Which is your favorite Musician & Doctor?
My favorite Musician is Honey Singh and my favourite Doctor is my father Dr. ZA Ansari.If I talk about Honey Singh, he brought a revolution in hip-hop rap music in India. In 2021, he made such music that people are now coming and listening to it, representing rap. Now there are many artists but no one is like Honey Singh because after seeing him I started doing music and whatever I am today is because of Honey Singh.
My idols are Raftaar Paji, Badshah Paji, Ikka Paji, Sidhu Paji, so I am inspired by all of them. I learned writing by watching Raftaar Paji and Talha Anjum, Krsna and I learned music by watching Honey Singh Sir and today I’m a doctor by looking at my father, I fulfilled his dream. Today he is proud of his son that his son is a doctor and will keep his name alive like always and will keep the music immortal along with the legacy of Dr. ZA Ansari.
This is Hasan Ansari. He is a musician and doctor. He has more then 42k followers on Instagram.
