His 27-year-old son is also set to break into the music industry and the proud father says that he will sing contemporary songs as well as folk.
"My son will also soon join this field and you will get to hear him soon. He has got talent and the rest depends on the listeners.
"It's about moving forward with folk music. That's our culture and irrespective of what makeover you give...folk is the genre that is becoming a hit with some help from technology. He is also using that," said Niazi, who himself took up a career in music against his parents' wishes.
"Nowadays, it's different. Media has educated people and even people from good families are taking up this profession," added the singer, who hopes that the charm of folk music continues for generations to come.
