Intro
Kasim Sulton has been a considerable influence on the New York music scene for over 20 years.

Kasim has played on stage and recorded with artists as diverse as Meat Loaf, Todd Rundgren, Joan Jett, Hall and Oates, Richie Sambora, Mick Jagger, Celine Dion, Cherry Vanilla and Jon Bon Jovi. He has also played and / or sung on over 100 albums (see the Kasim Sulton Discography) and has written a top thirty hit.

2001 mainly saw Kasim Sulton concentrating on his solo career. He played a number of successful gigs on on his 2001 Solo Acoustic Tour in cities all over America during which he also wrote some new songs which will appear on his CD that is scheduled for release in early 2002. From late October until the end of 2001, Kasim played 47 gigs in front of over half a million people in Europe with Meat Loaf on the Night Of The Proms tour.

1st February 2002 saw Kasim embarking on his second solo tour in recent years. Aptly called his "Have Guitar, Will Travel Tour", Kasim played 19 gigs in 12 US states over 44 days ending on 16th March in New York City!

During the remainder of 2002 Kasim played on a couple of Meat Loaf Tours in both US and Europe where he played a short solo acoustic to open the concert at most venues. Kasim also played several gigs as part of Tommy James and The Shondells.

On 4th September 2002, much to his fans' delight, Kasim's album Quid Pro Quo was released on Sphere Sound Records. It contained ten tracks (plus one "hidden" one), all but 2 were either written or co-written by Kasim, plus he played all but two of the instruments on the album.

During the remainder of 2002, Kasim played a few solo gigs and made some personal appearances at Borders stores to promote Quid Pro Quo.

Currently Kasim is in New York rehearsing with Meat Loaf's band ready for a year of promotion and touring for Meat Loaf's new album "Couldn't Have Said It Better".
