Early Life
Nahreel places his interest in music at the age of 14 when his father bought
him a piano and a teacher to tutor him on how to play.[2][2] He officially
began his career in music as an assistant music producer at Kama Kawa
records in Dar es Salaam. He worked there for a period of two years before
leaving to India to further his studies at Punjab College. His Riz One
instrumental for Izzo Bizness, released under MJ Records, led the rapper
Izzo Bizness to become one of the best-selling Tanzanian performing artists
of 2009. The instrumental also led Nahreel to receive nominations for major
awards and to meet the son of the President of the Republic of Tanzania,
Rithiwan Kikwete.[3] He was still in India at this time but the demand for
his instrumentals was high back in Tanzania as many hip-hop artists were
interested in working with him.[4][5][6]
In 2011, he completed his education in India and came back to Tanzania. He
produced a couple of singles before joining a couple of his friends to form
the music group Pah One.[7]
The Industry
In August 2014, Nahreel opened his own company called The Industry. The
Industry comprises The Industry studios (label, public relations, management)
and the Industry School Of Music where he is able to establish all his years
work in one. The Industry has since then worked upon many major projects with
different companies and artists. The Industry label manages two artists
