Even more intriguing is the fact that Adnan doesn’t even come from a musical family.He reveals, “My father was an ambassador. He was posted in Portugal at the time. The house we moved into already had a piano so that’s where my interest in playing music started. My father was a great connoisseur of music and arts. He said, ‘I will encourage you in anything you do but make sure you get a solid education.’ So, I studied in the finest schools and went on to become a qualified barrister but didn’t take up law because my music was my area of interest.”
