BALLINA, Australia - PennZone -- Australia's first Asian born Artist is back in the charts.

From being banned on Radio and Tv in Pakistan, falling victim to piracy by Bollywood, recording a Live album at Sydney Opera House, going number one on Aria charts with his song 'Like the river', to cracking the US World music radio stations, Mahmood's career is blessed with divine diversity that can be heard in his songs.



This new achievement adds another chapter to Mahmood's musical journey which has flourished in Australia thanks to the support from community radio stations like Ballarat FM, and Amrap Airit program. (See a complete list of Community radio stations supporting this new sound here)
