About Tauseef Anam
For the majority of his life, music has been an integral part of Tauseef Anam's life.

Throughout his first two years of college, he was most notably a member of the Atlanta post-punk band "Carnivores" as well as the drummer for Chris Unck & The Black Roses.
During his time at Emory University, he was an integral part of 8 different ensembles on campus which include the Jazz Big Band/Combo, Wind Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Orchestra.
