From Fish Stall to Millionaire

There are no doubts in this fact that Pakistanis are filled with extended skills and hidden skills. An example of such fact is One Pound Fish Man. One Pound Fish Man, Mohammad Shahid Nazir is a 31 years old Pakistani who was an immigrant to United Kingdom from town of Pattuki, Kasur in Punjab. He has 4 children and a wife living in Pakistan. He had settled in East London for about 9 months to make enough money for his family and began work on a fish stall in Queen’s Market.

One Pound Fish

               One Day his master asked him to attract the attention of people towards his stall. He did nothing and started singing a catchy song. His words were

"Come on ladies, come on ladies, One pound fish, one pound fish, Have-a, have-a look, One pound fish, Very, very good, very, very cheap, One pound fish, Six for five pound one pound each"

               These words attract women towards him and they additionally bought the fish. Someone made his song video on the stall and uploaded on a video website. This video became a smash and a viral hit on the internet. Music video of One Pound Fish was first released on 10 December 2012 which featured Bollywood style dancers. Youtube video of this song has more than 8 million views now. He has signed a record deal with Warner Music. His spokesman said that Shahid plans to release the video internationally. He said:

"The response has been great in France, Germany, Turkey and a few other places."

 “I’m here because I have to apply for visa to visit France for the song release,” he explained.

              He said that he plans to release a song in France. Calling his hit single a gift from God, Shahid Nazir said the song was a spontaneous creation.  He said that his stall is very important for him and he will return back there. Queen’s Market is my home, he said.
