From Pakistan, to Peckham to (King) Prawn, Babar Luck’s journey brings his positive songs of protest to us in the latest guise of a stripped down singer/song writer.  By turning the music down, the message gets turned up. 

Your current solo work is a great departure from the ska/punk/hardcore of King Prawn. Does this move reflect a change in you as a person moving on in life, or is a reflection of the world around changing. To break open into other worlds and other styles was Exactly why I spent 10 years doing wid King Prawn. This work this musical message is my own desire to not repeat myself and to encourage those around me to experiment. I will continue on these themes and do other themes A thrash metal bhangra hip-hop thing which may be my next thing or a real deep country album with Steve Earle......1 luv message will be the link always.

Have you retained some of the fans from the old days on your new projects? Beyond the message, do you think you have opened up some punk kids to a style that was probably unfamiliar to them? I have taken people wid me and those who come will see the similarities. But I do not live my life to other people’s choices and I don’t expect anyone to liv to my choices. Like God says there is always a choice and that is for the individual to choose. Those who were keenest on my past work were and are open minded people. Open minded people, 1 luv people will get it the most.

You’ve recently had single of the week on the BBC Asian Network. Do you think this type of station can work as a stepping-stone to more mainstream coverage, or does it risk pigeon holing artists as being for a particular demographic?

Believe me a musician and a artist never pigeonholes himself. It is the outside networks that put him or her in a box. We will never belong to any gang.  Or any club that will have Babar Luck as a member. Artists want to heard and seen, seen.
