Afzal, who is from Kochi, is also a well-known singer.
I consider myself lucky to have stepped foot into the music industry. Music has been close to my heart since childhood. My parents tell me that when I was a child, I used to play the tune of whatever song i heard, even if it was with a spoon or a toy. We would visit my grandfather during the vacations and that is where my love for music took wings. He would play songs of Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi, and I would be all ears for those lovely songs. "Music was inborn in me. I completed my schooling at School for the Blind in Aluva where they had all the facilities for me to experiment more with music. During leisure time, I used to try out new music instruments. I kept practicing and developing whatever skills I had. By then, I realised that music was my true calling."
