Atif Aslam is known to be one of the most popular singers to arise out of the subcontinent. Ever since his first hit called ‘Aadat’, he has taken the music industry by storm. His songs have been featured in major Bollywood hits which ensure his fandom across the world.

Hollywood has also featured Atif Aslam’s songs. Four songs from Aslam’s second album Doorie were featured in two films. Two of them; “Yakeen” and “Ehsaas”, and a single “Aadat” from his first album Jal Pari, featured in Ramin Bahrani’s 2005 film Man Push Cart which has won international awards and was praised by the critics.

While the 36-year-old has had no formal music training, he is inspired by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His songs have been critically acclaimed by the legends of the music industry.

According to Musician and singer, Sajjad Ali, “You can see how big artists even in India try to copy Atif’s way of singing, tune, where to pick up from, where and when to hold and even release a note. Not that they are bad singers, they can sing pretty well, but you can see why they try to sing in Atif’s expression and tone”

BrightBeat, the company arranging this event have also signed famous Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa as well and have planned four shows with him later this year.

Fans are impatient to see their favourite singers rock the stage and mesmerise the crowd, Shejahat said.
