{{AFC comment|1=This draft needs editing for [[WP:NPOV|neutrality]]. [[WP:PEACOCK|Peacock terms]] such as "prestigious" should be eliminated. Notes that his youth piano teacher had a famous husband are irrelevant and should be removed. And we should not have a link to Hasan's management agency, because that just smacks of promotion.
