Dawood Sarkhosh's inspiration was his older brother Sarwar Sarkhosh. He revived his skills by singing and composing songs inspired by a sense of suffering in exile. Dawood did not sing for commercial gain, but out of nostalgia and to convey the feelings about refugee life as experienced by refugees of Afghanistan dispersed throughout the world. He is married to Kubra Nekzad and has three children. The family now live in Vienna, Austria.
