Shahjehan is an Earphones-Award winning narrator, Ambie and Webby-nominated podcaster, world-renown rock guitarist, and blooming actor.
He was recently insulted by Tom on “SUCCESSION” (HBO), creeped around as Gordon Ramshaw in “Weekend at Blackthorne Manor” (LIFETIME), and is the face of Quan Chi in MORTAL KOMBAT 1.
Shaj has been a performer since he was 8 years old, and plans to keep going well into his 80’s.
THE KOMINAS’ dance-oriented sound is a wild blend of 1977-era hardcore, reggae, Punjabi folk tunes, surf rock, disco, and dub. The musicians, Americans of South Asian heritage, sing in Punjabi, Urdu, and Hindi as well as English. Their lyrics proclaim a bold political awareness, with broad streaks of humor, outrage, and the absurd; the songs are meant to catalyze change in the predominantly white culture while simultaneously fostering a safe and fun space for listeners of color. The Kominas have toured widely in the US, Canada, and Europe, and their recordings and a video session for the BBC have won the group many fans in South Asia.
