Quetta Vijayakumar, a classical singer from Afghanistan, started learning this art at the age of seven and later became a disciple of Afghan classical singer Painda Mohammad Khan who came from Afghanistan.
He said that ‘when I became a student of Pineda Muhammad Khan, there is a regular ritual, that of cutting music. Then I continued to learn this art from him regularly.

Balochistan I am not Who are learning as much as they can under your help. If such institutions are created under the patronage of the government, classical and other music will also be promoted, new people will also come forward.

Other great teachers were also sitting. When I sang, my teacher praised me in front of everyone and said that I will become a great singer one day. That day was a very important day in my life.
He said that ‘I am a native of Balochistan and that’s why I initially recorded a song in 2003 in Brahvi language on PTV, besides I also sing songs in Balochi, Pashto, Saraiki, Sindhi, Urdu, Punjabi. . I prefer Balochi and Brahvi because these are the languages of my own region.’
