Arooj Aftab Booking Agency Profile

Book Arooj Aftab for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Arooj Aftab, born on March 11, 1985, is a Pakistani singer, composer, and producer known for her versatility in various musical styles and idioms, including jazz and minimalism. Aftab made history by becoming the first-ever Pakistani artist to win a Grammy Award at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April 2022. She was nominated for the Best New Artist award and won the Best Global Music Performance award for her song "Mohabbat." Her exceptional musical talent has also earned her the Pride of Performance Award, the highest literary award for showing excellence in the field of art and music, which she received from President Arif Alvi on the 75th diamond jubilee anniversary of Pakistan.

Aftab was born to Pakistani parents who were expatriated in Saudi Arabia, and she returned with her family to Lahore, Pakistan, when she was about ten years old. She taught herself to play the guitar and developed her unique singing style by listening to various artists, including Billie Holiday, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Mariah Carey, and Begum Akhtar. Despite the limited access to Western online platforms and the lack of infrastructure for independent music in Pakistan, Aftab promoted her music in the country, becoming one of the pioneers of the Pakistani indie scene. Her renditions of "Mera Pyaar" and "Hallelujah" went viral, and she gained a significant following in the early 2000s.

In 2005, Aftab moved to the United States and pursued a degree in music production and engineering at Boston's Berklee College of Music. After graduation, she moved to New York City in 2010, where she began working as an editor and scoring films. Aftab has been an active member of the city's jazz and "new music" scene since then.

With her exceptional talent, Aftab has become an icon in the Pakistani music industry and an inspiration to many aspiring artists. She continues to create music that resonates with audiences worldwide and showcase the beauty of Pakistani culture through her art..
