Out of the four instruments he can play, he prefers the guitar and bass the most while also enjoying drums.[4]

At the beginning of his career, Ismail first started releasing music on Bandcamp and SoundCloud with the help of his friends, from where he attracted a following. He often performs live on local university campuses and also in popular regional music festivals like Music Mela and Lahore Music Meet.[5] He released his first music video "Tuntuna" on YouTube which was popular among Pakistani and Indian audiences.
