He spoke to Al Jazeera's David Foster. Muhammad Shahid Nazir (Urdu, Punjabi: محمد شاہد نذیر; born 1981), also known as the One Pound Fish Man (commonly stylised as £1 Fish Man), is a British-based Pakistani trader and recording artist who found fame as an internet sensation for his viral video "One Pound Fish". His subsequent appearance on The X Factor led to a record deal with Warner Music. Following brief employment at a pound shop, Nazir, who had since settled in East London, began work on a fish stall at Queen's Market, Upton Park where his employer instructed him to use a trader's call to attract customers.

The song has since been covered by Alesha Dixon, Timbaland and Mindless Behavior. In 2012, Nazir auditioned for the ninth series of UK's The X Factor where he sang his now-famous composition.
