Year is 2009 and group of four friends has randomly landed at auditions of Norske Talenter-Noway’s take on popular show, America’s Got Talent. “I remember I was folding my laundry and I received call from Suleman and he just informed me that we’re all to be part of Norway’s Got Talent,” Nasir Sirikhan one of core members of famous dance group, Quick Style, recalls while speaking to private media outlet. 

Viral Oslo-based dance group which is now nothing short of sensation across world was recently in Pakistan for collaboration with Coke Studio. Its core members comprising Nasir Sirikhan, Yasin Tatby and twins Suleman and Bilal Malik have been friends for over 20 years and have fallen in love with Pakistan on their maiden tour as group. 

“I love vibe this city gives off,” Yasin tells me as we sit for candid chat. “We’ve had some local food as well, we’re really enjoying it,” Nasir adds. We just went for it. Then we started our YouTube channel and then began posting our choreography which essentially spiralled into BTS reaching out to us to choreograph their performances. Bilal shares, happened when they started opening studios in different locations. “Studios were never planned,” Bilal remarks.  Suleman chimes in, “I was driving up to venue and I could see them! I could see that they were up to something but as soon as they would see me, they’d stop rehearsal. Everyone was just stressed out. I was just as nervous for them as I am sure they were.” 

Yasin says, “We all had 30 minutes before we were supposed to perform and it all came down to, ‘whatever happens, happens’. Bilal said you only need confidence and not moves. Suleman shares his sisters had really set bar high with their routine. “I was blown away! They were all just really getting into Saath Samandar Paar and I was screaming at top of my lungs because it was that good.”–Agencies
