Atif Aslam:-
Atif attended high School at PAF College, Lahore, where he played Kabaddi and became interested in music.He attended Punjab Institute of Computer Science (PICS) to do his Bachelors in Computer Science (BCs). He recorded the song Aadat (with the help of Salman Albert, amongst other established and accomplished Pakistani musicians).It became popular on a host of promotional Pakistani music websites.Atif Aslam, after leaving Jal, released a new solo album, Jal Pari (meaning "Mermaid") which was a big hit.The Songs Woh Lamhey, Dil Haarey and few others were smash hits on both Pakistani radio stations and Music Channels. As both the Jal, “Aadat”, and Atif’s album, Jalpari, shared certain tracks (such as “Aadat”, “Bheegi Raatein”, “Wo Lamhey”, “Ankhon se”) an unofficial war over rights began which resulted in both sides claiming to possess hard proof to support their respective claims (that, they alone owned the concerned songs). After recording for Kalyug, an Irani director in Hollywood contacted Atif and within very little time.Atif visited various countries in Asia, Europe & The Americas which include Pakistan,Bangladesh, India, UAE, UK, Canada & America—taking his sound to the “pardesi” .His first stage manifestation was in a fancy dress show at his school when he was in grade–1 where he performed as Imran Khan “ Captain of Pakistan Cricket Team”.At the age of 9 in 1991 he was shifted to Rawalpindi/Islamabad where he continued his studies in Saint Pauls School.The twist in the story comes when one day he was singing with his friends at the college canteen. His friends insisted him to participate in the singing on Independence Day celebrations at PAF College Lahore and Sargodha in 1998.Atif formed the band and named the band as “JAL” which means water, the essence of life.His song Woh Lamhay fetch him the nomination as best singer for 2005 in almost all the film awards of bollywood including Film Fare Awards, Zee Cine Awards, and IIFA Awards etc. He just got nominated for Best Playback Singer (Male) for his song "Tere Bin" from movie "Bas Ek Pal" for Filmfare Awards 2007.Some of the awards he has won include: Best playback singer, Best debut singer - Sahara Sangeet Awards (India) Winner OF Best Song Best Lyricist Best Composition - ARY Music Awards (Pakistan) Most Wanted Male - The Music Awards (Pakistan).
