Zameer and his musical mentor and elder brother, songwriter Ali Rizvi, started out doing cover gigs in their living room as children. They would play air guitar on tennis racquets and lip synch to Guns N’ Roses and Soundgarden tunes. A little over a decade later in 2007, the pair found themselves in a studio with 5-time Grammy-winning producer Steve Thompson, who mixed both Guns N’ Roses’ and Soundgarden’s debut albums.
