Adnan Sami Khan
(Urdu: عدنان سمیع خان; born 15 August 1973) is a popular
British-born singer musician, pianist, actor and composer of South
Asian origin from Canada. His style merges Asian and Western styles
and instrumentation and ranges from classical to jazz to modern
pop-rock. He was awarded MTV's 2001 "Breakthrough Artist of the
Year".
Early life and education
Sami was born, reared and educated in United Kingdom. His father
Arshad Sami Khan was born in Pakistan and lived in India, was a
Pakistani diplomat and had training in composing classical and jazz
music. His mother belonged to an Indian Muslim family. Sami attended
Rugby School. He went on to graduate from King's College London,
throughout developing his musical style and technique on the Piano
and thus evolving a new sound which he pioneered and ultimately
introduced to the world thus becoming the first person to play
Pakistani Classical music on the electric Piano. He had played piano
since his childhood and so studied music in school and in college.
Indian singing legend Asha Bhosle spotted talent in a ten-year-old
Sami at an R D Burman concert in London, and encouraged him to take
up music as a career.
Sami then went on to learn Indian classical music from Mahraj Khatak,
an Indian classical singing teacher in Pakistan and dancer. Sami
further learned from Indian Santoor maestro, Pandit Shivkumar
Sharma, and became one of the first people to play Pakistani
classical music on the piano and electric piano. Sami's parents and
younger brother now reside in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Music career
His most successful albums have been Kabhi To Nazar Milao (with Asha
Bhosle) and Tera Chehra , and his music videos usually have had a
host of Bollywood stars in them, including Namrata Shirodkar ("Bheegi
Bheegi Raat"), Mahima Chaudhry, Raveena Tandon, Rani Mukherjee,
Govinda, Fardeen Khan, Amisha Patel ("O Meri Jaan"), Bhoomika Chawla
("Maahiya"), Diya Mirza ("Pal Do Pal") and most famously, Amitabh
Bachchan ("Kabhi Nahi"). and in 2007 the soundtrack from the hit
Salaam-e-Ishq.
He has also sang couple of Kannada Film songs. His first such
kannada song was a big hit " Don't worry madabeda" for the film "
Super Star " starring Upendra. Recently he also sung for a film 'Soundarya"
starring Ramesh.
In 2006, he took a sabbatical, and reportedly lost over 70 kg, to
make a come back in November 2007 as a host on a Hindi musical game
show, Bol Baby Bol, on STAR One.
His latest film music composition was for Shaurya (2008).
Personal life
Adnan Sami was married to Zeba Bakhtiar for a short period from whom
he had a son Azaan Khan. The marriage did not last for long. He then
fell in love with Dubai-based Sabah Galadari. They married in 2001.
This relationship also called quits a year-and-a-half later.
It is said that most of his composed love songs of his albums are
based on his true love experiences. After more than 3 years Sabah
was pleasantly surprised to receive a picture by mail of a much
slimmer Adnan. They decided to meet in Dubai. The love bloomed again
and a recent update states that they have secretly married again. On
regaining his lost love Adnan said in an interview, "I couldn't get
her out of my heart. Love can turn things around. Just believe this.
And when we met, we realised we had never stopped loving each
other."
Sami has been attempting to acquire Indian citizenship. The singer
even issued a notice in a newspaper in April 2005 declaring his
intentions for choosing Indian citizenship. However, it seems that
his application is still pending. The singer, a Pakistani national,
owns a house in India, has a PAN card, and has now even applied for
his marriage at the marriage registrar's office in Bandra.
