Muhammad Atif Aslam was born on 12th march 1983 in Wazirabad
Gujranwala. Atif's kinder garden started in Model town Lahore at
Kimberley Hall School. 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”. Since then
cricket was like a passion to him. He was never tired of playing
cricket for hours in his car porch whether it is scorching sun
outside or even raining. At that time he did not use to listen any
kind of songs.
At the age of 9 in 1991 he shifted to Rawalpindi/Islamabad where he
continued his studies in Saint Pauls School. He started playing
Basket Ball and he used to lead his school team for matches. Atif
came back to Lahore in 1995 where he continued his studies in
Divisional Public School Model Town. For his immense passion for
cricket he was selected in his school team as a fast bowler. Atif
cleared his 10th grade in 14 years of age with a distinctive edge
that he has always been the youngest boy in the class because of his
double promotions while he was in Kimberley Hall.
Atif started his HSc in PAF College Lahore. Cricket was all the
times with him. He was in his college team as well, where he
presented his college in other cities. Beside his studies, he was
putting his maximum time in practicing for professional cricket.
During his college life he came across
with some interest in music. His eldest brother was having a
collection of more than 8,000 songs of almost all music genres.
Un-intentionally he was developing a habit of listening to all kinds
of music in his house. As a good learner he quickly grasped the
control of voice but till that time he was not interested in
singing, his passion was to enter in Pakistan cricket team as a fast
bowler and he was right on track while practicing at the net at
Shapes club Lahore where Imran Khan used to come and give tips to
him for bowling.
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 competition on Independence Day
celebrations at PAF College Lahore and Sargodha in 1998. He
performed there and won the competition. After HSc Atif Joined
Punjab Institute of Computer Science Gulberg Campus. This time
studies were much more demanding as compared to the previous ones.
He had to sacrifice his time for the cricket.
His hobby of singing continued when he entered the singing
competition of his college. There were a total of 8 participants
.The media team entered Atif's name in the competition at the
eleventh hour and he won the competition by singing a hit number
Duur of Strings Band
He kept on winning these competitions
every semester until he announced that he will no longer participate
in next competitions so that someone else can also win the
competition.
He encountered Goher at his college who had good interest in Music &
was a good, talented guitarist. Together they used to practice a lot
and started doing mini concerts for their friend. Atif used to sing
Junoon's and String's songs at the concerts. The volume of cheers of
audience kept on increasing. They performed concerts for their
college, McDonalds and some other restaurants as well.
Atif recorded the legendary song “AADAT” at Mekal Hassan's Studio.
Mekal injected his professionalism in the song to make it worth
listening time after time. Atif formed the band and named the band
as “JAL” which means water, the essence of life. The song got
popularity on different musical websites on Pakistan. The song was
also being on aired on major Radio channels of Pakistan like FM100,
FM 105 etc.
“Umer Anwar” from Karachi approached Atif for making the video of “AADAT”.
Aadat's video was shot in one day in a warehouse at Karachi. The
basic theme of the video was to attract people to listen to this
song, which will vanish their sorrows and then make them happy.
A girl who acted as an angel in the
video was distributing this message to people to listen to this
song. Atif was making waves in the industry. God has been very very
kind to Atif. By the Grace of God his video was released in December
on “ARY THE MUSIC” and then it rocked almost all the channels.
Atif released his first album Jal Pari
on 18th July 2004 all over the nation by the country's leading
record label, Sound Master and IC records & Alhumdolillah the
results declared it as the best selling album of the year within
just 5 months of the release and it is still continuing. Because of
the eternal mercifulness of Allah who gave the kind of continuous
love of people to Atif , lime light, interviews, fans, autographs,
snaps, concerts, get-togethers, traveling all came to him at once
and Atif was really stretched up for all this because in the mean
time he had the final exams of BCS and he cleared his Bachelorz in
Computer Science ( hons) from University of Central Punjab.
Performing live is the real test of any singer and Alhumdolillah
people believe that Atif is one of the best live singers in the
nation. Atif has done hundreds of live shows with local as well as
international artists all over the globe for a lot of brands.
Atif's song WOH
LAMHEY which he sang for the Bollywood movie “ Zeher” in 2005 is
being considered among the ten best ever green songs of the
Bollywood industry doing a business of One million Dollar plus
only in India in terms of sales. This song opened the doors of
bollywood for Atif and he is now one of the few singers of the
nation who are doing play back singing in bollywood which is
indeed a national pride for us. His 2nd song in bollywood “Aadat”
made people addicted to his voice in the biggest nation of the
world. Third song “Teray Bin” is also being considered as one of
the most touching and heart melting numbers of the year 2006.
One of the most rare distinctions which atif earned for Pakistan
was that his 3 songs “ Aaadat , Ehsaas and Yakeen were included in
a Hollywood art movie “ MAN PUSH CART”. The movie got tremendous
response in international film festivals and won FEPRISKI award in
Europe
Atif has a long list of the people who supported him through out
his career so far and he is very grateful to them all. In Atif’s
encouraging family he has a very loving & simple mother who always
prays for his success. His father “Muhammad Aslam” is an Engineer
