Artist · Producer · Label Founder
Aabyd Khan (born Aabid Riyaz, March 15, 2005) is a music producer, artist, and label founder from Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, India. Known for his dark, aggressive sound, he specialises in Hard UK Drill beats, dark trap, and cinematic instrumentals.
Growing up in a non-musical family, Aabyd developed his skills independently through deep listening, experimentation and relentless practice. His early exposure to hip-hop and drill music shaped a production style built on hard-hitting drums, distorted basslines and atmospheric melodies that carry both global influence and Kashmiri identity.
At age 14, studying at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV Baramulla) — a prestigious residential school — he spent every available hour building his sound. By 2026, he had released 160+ tracks distributed globally across 200+ streaming platforms, amassing over 123,000 Instagram followers and reaching listeners worldwide.
Beyond production, Aabyd founded The Imaginary Records, an independent label from Kashmir designed to sign and distribute artists globally — the first of its kind from the region at this scale.
Founded in 2026 from Kashmir, India — The Imaginary Records is an independent record label built by artists, for artists. As founder, Aabyd Khan created the label to sign, develop, and distribute artists globally with maximum creative freedom and industry-best royalty rates.
TIR operates a full digital infrastructure: artist portal, release management, global distribution through PDL India and Conyfer, ISRC registration through IMI India, and distribution across 200+ streaming platforms worldwide.
