“Bashiri Asad was living the life of a cover artist when he heard the words that changed the direction of his career. The Indianapolis based singer was between sets when a fan suggested that he sing original songs because listeners would take him more seriously. Asad could have ignored that advice because there’s a line of thinking that vocalists performing anything from the Motown catalog will always have work. Asad, bless his soul, decided to take that bit of unsolicited advice and write original tunes. He has since released three projects, including last year’s EP The Space Between and his latest, Living the Dream. We know that mainstream artists have tools available to them that can make the life of a recording artist somewhat less challenging than that faced by the indie artist. However, Asad wanted the creative and topical autonomy that comes with not being under contract with a label. And he puts that autonomy to good use on Living the Dream.”

— Howard Dukes, Soultracks.com

“This was a treat. I had seen Bashiri on flyers but had never taken the time out of my schedule to see him live. I’ve been missing out. He has a refined style of soul which never quite jumps over into Neo-Soul territory. This works for me!”

— Sutiweyu Sandoval, Zap Town magazine

“I had the honor of attending Bashiri Asad’s Fundraising Event at Club Hyde. Bashiri is set to audition for Andre Harell today. Friends, Family and Fans gathered to support Bashiri in his mission to show the world his talent. Brian Wallace, Program Director for HOT 963 was in attendance as well as local celebrities DJ Wrekk 1, Rusty Redenbacher, Alpha Live, Mr Kinetic, DJ Limelight and the most talented Kyla Williamson. The vibe was perfect. The most classiest people in the city showed up to support one of Indy’s most talented local artist. I must admit. I was very impressed. He voice is amazing. He personality is even more amazing. Not knowing him from Adam, I really hope that this man blows up! From what people say about him…he deserves it!”

— JJ from IMC TV, JJ's Blog

“ If you like people who can sang and haven’t heard him do his thing, you’re seriously missing out!”

— DJ LIMELIGHT, Limelight Show & Tell 4

“I’ve seen Bashiri perform his original hits on stage many times, and you know what? It never gets old. Unlike many of today’s manufactured and robot-like singers, Bashiri constantly reinvents himself, because he honestly wants to provide his audience with a quality performance. This man sings from his soul and every note, every pitch, every run, is done with purpose.”

— Jessica Williams-Gibson, Doing Indy Blog

“What strikes me first is his voice, very soothing and smooth. He mentions this in his bio, when he says that he has been ‘cultivating a relationship with his voice since childhood’. This is clearly obvious when you listen to his music, and you can’t but be enchanted by the beautiful notes he produces, seemingly without much effort.”

— Carminelita, The Wonderful World of Carminelita

“ There has been a new voice that has been creating quite a bit of buzz around the midwest. The name is Bashiri Asad. To some, Bashiri may seem to have dropped out of thin air. The truth is that his ties run deep in Indy.”

— "Sir" Doug Morris, Old Soul Ent. "Sounds Of Universal Love"

“ First off, The Bashiri Asad Root Movments show last Wednesday was amazing. I warned you all that Bashiri has talent! It was by far the best concert I've seen all year! Bashiri, thanks for getting 'Hey Joe' in after the crowd screamed for an encore!”

— "Sir Doug" Morris, Old Soul Entertainment "Sounds Of Universal Love"

“BASHIRI ASAD Soul vocalist Asad and his super-funky band perform great soul both old and new. ”

— Indy Jazz Foundation, Indy Jazz Foundation

“ Xenobia Green are becoming one of the most impressive soul acts in Indianapolis. Bashiri Asad, whose vocal style owes heavy debt to the legendary Donny Hathaway, led the band through a well received set of familiar covers and originals.”

— Kyle Long, NUVO
