He also has won the '''Battle of Bands''' held at Iqra University in Dec 2007. He was born on 13th April, 1984, In Karachi, Pakistan.
Call was formed in 1994 by [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]], [[Omer Pervaiz]], [[Khurram Jabbar Khan]] and [[Danish Jabbar Khan]]. <ref name="Jumpy Underground Media - Interview - The Call">{{cite web |url= http://www.j4jumpy.net/interviews/call.htm|title= J4Jumpy.net - History|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = J4Jumpy.net – The Call}}</ref> They started out by providing background music for mime performances at [[National College of Arts Lahore|NCA]], [[Lahore]] under the name [[Undrap Nexus]]. [[Undrap Nexus|Undrap Nexus']] line-up was with [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]] on the keyboard, [[Omer Pervaiz]] on the [[guitar]] and [[Danish Jabbar Khan]] on vocals. Soon, [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]] and [[Danish's|Danish Jabbar Khan]], [[Khurram Jabbar Khan]] bought himself a drumkit and Call was officially formed. <ref name="Jumpy Underground Media - Interview - The Call">{{cite web |url= http://www.j4jumpy.net/interviews/call.htm|title= J4Jumpy.net – The Call|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = J4Jumpy.net}}</ref> Call still needed a bassist and recruited [[Shahzad Hameed]].


He has done BS - Computer Engineering from SSUET (Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology) currently completing his Thesis for MS (Software Engineering) from SZABIST (Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Buttho Institute of Science and Technology). Sheryar started composing songs in the year 1998.
=== Early History (1994-2000) ===


He was interested in the art of music since the age of fourteen when He asked his father to buy him a small keyboard but it was too expensive. After a year his elder brother bought a normal black acoustic guitar getting inspired from his university friend in FAST (Institute of computer sciences) and some rock songs from Def Leopard/Metallica. One day his brother went to office asking sheryar not to touch anything, but temptation to play music was innate. Soon after his brother left he tried to play something and broke E string. From the fear of my brothers, He asked his father to take him to any music shop to buy the string so that his brother won't know that he touched his brother guitar. That was the first time he put the string by himself. As time goes, his brother(Nazim) couldn't learn guitar due to his job responsibilities and finally left his guitar and went to Japan for his software project.
Call's musical inspirations included bands like [[Pink Floyd]], [[Led Zeppelin]] and [[Iron Maiden]]. Their musical style was experimental as Shahzad Hameed stated;


Watching guitar kept alone at the side of bed. He picked and tried to play again and finally played a famous Indian song riff on one thin string. Briefly, He feel he was destined to play guitar.
:{{cquote|Playing in the garage and just jamming and doing strange sounds and sometimes real weird sounding things was fun, we were experimental band -we were all naive... And we were doing music truly as a unit we were passionate about whatever strange sounds we were making... The live sound and show was our main concern plus, the live show of call was a theatrical / musical experience - Danish being the art student and the true rebel of the band brought in these influences... <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref>|20px|20px|}}
He learned from a Guitarist couple of chords (C Am F G) and how to sing with the chords. That impressed him that he can at least express his thoughts and voice with guitar too. Then with the help of enormous material available on net, he practiced and tried to learn the art.


As soon as he got into University,he made some computer recordings which were really appreciated by his friends. A lot of those songs were controversial as they were notorious in nature, dedicated to some strange people. He Also sung songs in university graduation parties, concerts and Fun Fairs. At that time his father gifted me an Electronic guitar bought from Dubai which further boosted my interest in music.
The band's first gig was in 1995. The site was decorated with flame torches and complimenting the band's music were live mime performances.<ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref> Their setlist was composed of 10 original tracks, a rare thing for underground musicians to do back then. <ref name="Instep, NOS, The News">{{cite web |url= http://jang.com.pk/thenews/dec2005-weekly/nos-18-12-2005/instep.htm#5|title = On Call About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = The News}}</ref> However, in 1996, the band's bassist, [[Shahzad Hameed]] left. <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref> After a while, the band's guitarist, [[Omer Pervaiz]] left as well in order to concentrate on his solo project, [[Naqsh]]. <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref> [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]] and [[Khurram Jabbar Khan]] decided against disbanding the band and thus ended up recruiting [[Ahsan Fida Khan]] on guitars and [[Faisal Murtaza]] on bass. <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref>


In the university life I have also joined his community (non profit) Orchestra which plays for community only. He think he have polished his skills the most with the help of a keyboardist name Adnan.
=== Disbanding (2001) ===


As He passed his bachelors from the Sir Syed University of engineering and technology. He got busy in job though he didn't stop singing and practicing guitars. As time goes on one of his university friend joined Raas Rock Band and he was invited to play concerts with them at Arts Council and Iqra University . He now work as Sr. Software Engineer at Axact Pvt Ltd now.
On October 20, 2001, [[Danish Jabbar Khan]], the band’s vocalist and lyricist, performed for the last time with the band at a rock festical on his birthday. <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref> Once the band’s primary lyricist and vocalist was gone, the members of the band got busy with other things. [[Khurram Jabbar Khan]] moved to the [[United States]], [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]] concentrated on his band [[Paradigm]] (which later became [[Entity Paradigm (eP)|EP]]) while [[Ahsan Fida Khan|Ahsan]] and [[Faisal Murtaza|Faisal]] moved on to fulfill family obligations. <ref name="Jumpy Underground Media - Interview - Xulfi">{{cite web |url= http://www.j4jumpy.net/interviews/xulfi.htm|title = J4Jumpy.net - Xulfi|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = J4Jumpy.net}}</ref> <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Thebandcall.com}}</ref>

=== Revival (2002-2004) ===


Instruments that Sheryar Use:
In September 2002, [[Khurram Jabbar Khan]], being a core member, returned from the [[United States]] to revive Call. [[Khurram Jabbar Khan|Khurram]] and [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]] got together and auditioned for new band members and decided that this would be an [[urdu]] project.<ref name="Jumpy Underground Media - Interview - The Call">{{cite web |url= http://www.j4jumpy.net/interviews/call.htm|title= J4Jumpy.net - The Call - History|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = J4Jumpy.net}}</ref> They found [[Junaid Khan|Junaid’s]] voice to befitting for the band’s musical direction and recruited him as the band’s vocalist. Soon [[Sunny (Guitarist)|Sunny]] was chosen to be on lead guitar, [[Usman Nasir]] on rhythms and [[Sultan Raja]] (Xulfi’s student) on bass. [[Khurram Jabbar Khan|Khurram]] joined in on drums. <ref name="Official Biography">{{cite web |url= http://thebandcall.com/flash/|title = About|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher=Thebandcall.com}}</ref>

[[Sunny (Guitarist)|Sunny]], who was the real musical contributor, couldn’t contribute to the band due to his job and thus had to leave the band. <ref name="Call - The Next Big Thing">{{cite web |url= http://www.umrevolution.com/features_02.html|title = Call - The Next Big Thing|accessdate= 2007-08-20|publisher = Umrevolution.com}}</ref>
