The Muslim Michael Jackson Impersonator




His name is Irfan Makki and if you do not know it's hime, you would think it's Michael Jackson doing the singing. In fact, many Muslims and non Muslims when they heard one of Irfan's songs, they thought it's the King of Pop himself. But Michael Jackson's impersonators are a dime a dozen, but Irfan from what I can gather is not going to for Michale Jackson. His songs are about Islam.

Ths young singer is about to release a new record with Awakening Record the British company that produces Muslim thmeed albums and social conscious music. Muslim singers like Sami Yusuf, Maher Zain, Hamza Namira and others release their work through this company. Irfan will be one of their additions, Maher Zain seems to be getting most of the collaboration with Makki.

This Canadian native Nasheed artist and songwriter offer up vibrant imagery with the innocence of a child-like observer and the wisdom of an elderly man, blended with world beat percussion, South Asian rhythms and a distinctive urban R&B vocal style. A sensitive songwriter with a humble stage presence, Irfan has performed all over the UK, US, and Canada,
