Feature Biography by People Magazine's Carlos Greer:

Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Zameer Rizvi is a man of many talents. He's a pilot. He owns a tech business. And he's an avid yogi with a knack for cooking local, organic food. But music is what makes him really come alive. “Stage is my core. Music is bigger than life for me. Music is a calling. It’s like a religion – when a person finds Jesus, they get saved. Music saved me,” he says. 

Rizvi was born the youngest of four children in Pakistan. The family moved to Saudi Arabia, where he spent most of his childhood. “It was a great life there. I had a lot of luxuries - for a boy at least,” he says. Access to music, however, didn’t come easy. “It wasn’t looked upon as a good thing in Saudi Arabia. My brother used to smuggle music in for us, so we listened to whatever he liked." For Rizvi, that meant listening to a lot of 80s metal bands liked Poison, Motley Crew and Guns N’ Roses (he honed his guitar skills playing cover songs from the latter). 

The family immigrated to Canada in 1995, where Rizvi began to explore music with his brother. By 2005, he became a household name by playing open mics and acoustic shows at some of Toronto’s most popular local music venues. In 2008, he released his debut single, “Win or Defeat," which became the theme song of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. He gained world-wide recognition later that year when he performed the inspirational song at the Vancouver Olympic Games. 

He released his debut album, From Under the Bleachers, in 2011. The lead single, “Glory of Love” reached #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts in Canada.“ Rizvi relocated to Los Angeles in 2013 and is preparing to make his American debut later this year. He released the electropop track "Crazy" featuring fellow Canadian singer Mia Martina on April 28 and his second album Her is slated for a summer release. "It's a really honest album. All I can do is tell my story," he says.
