TARIQ HUSSAIN is a Juno nominated songwriter and recording artist with a music career that spans over two decades. He is also a member of the critically acclaimed Vancouver band, Brasstronaut. The songs on Tariq’s latest solo offering feel a bit like short stories, hence the title, Telegrams (2019)—brief glimpses into fictional lives. Tariq is also a nonfiction writer and his essays on song-craft have appeared in the Walrus. He is currently working on a memoir about growing up as a first generation Canadian kid who dreams of playing in a rock n’ roll band.
