Atif Aslam is considered one of the biggest voices
in the Subcontinent today with a fan reach that spans across the globe.
It all began with a song that pulled the star under the spotlight –
‘Aadat’. Following this, Atif now stands as one of Pakistan’s paramount
musicians with international tours lined constantly, 3 albums to his
name, multiple Bollywood singles, several international collaborations,
to just name a few of this man’s many achievements. Hailing from the
cultural hub of Lahore, Atif had initially chosen to pursue Cricket,
however he was encouraged by his friends to pursue Singing. Atif has
also made appearances in quite a few films to date with his debut acting
experience in the acclaimed Pakistani film ‘Bol’ in 2011. His music has
also been featured in Hollywood films – namely ‘Man Push Cart’ and Mira Nair’s ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’.In the pursuit of his dream, Atif Aslam shares his learnings: ‘
When you do something like this, you don’t really think about where you
want to go. The sky is the limit. Everyday, there is a new idea and a
new approach and I like to try things out differently each time. Success
and Art are two separate things. To me, Success is something you cannot
ever achieve; it will always be as much as what is written for you.
Other than that there’s nothing more you can earn, as there is nothing
further to benefit you. If you have faith in the fact that you’ll get
what you need and you’re happy with it, there’s no other feeling like
it.’ Atif is a household name to Coke Studio
having performed in Seasons 2 and 3. With his diverse mix of pop
ballads and soulful traditional pieces, this Season Atif rejoins Coke
Studio to exhibit his range as a musician in experimenting with catchy
rhythms interspersed with Sufi elements. Watch Atif Aslam’s artist profile below:
