Muhammad Shahid Nazir sells fish at Queen's Market in East London. He created a catchy song, "One Pound Fish," to attract people to his fish stall.

The song includes the following lyrics:

Come on ladies, come on ladies
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

Nazir tried to make it on the UK's The X Factor show, but was rejected. However, his "One Pound Fish" song caught on and he was signed by Warner Music. He has released the following music video for his fish song.
