Career Journey

Nazia was a great singer, and started his career as a child artist on PTV in the 1970s. However, he started his professional singing career by singing the popular song “Aap Jaisa Koi” from Qurbani in the 1980s. He was only fifteen years old at that time! This was one of Bollywood’s most-popular songs of the time. Then he and Zoheb sang for some of Bollywood’s leading actors for a stretch of several years.

Nazia and Zohaib made their debut in 1981 after signing with the label, “Gulf Music”. Their record was a huge hit not just in Pakistan and India but anywhere in the world. Nazia’s second album was “Boom Boom” that had a song featured in a Bollywood movie released that year entitled “Star”. Her second album piled riches on her third release, which came out in 1984. That record was upheld by David Rose and Kathy Rose out of London. This album is recognized as the pioneer of pop music making it to Asia. One track from the album, “Ankhien Milane Wale” became very popular at one point in time.

“Hotline” was the fourth studio album of Nazia and Zoheb, which was released in 1987. It attempted to recreate the danceable groove that was found in “Camera Camera.” Yet, the fifth and last release of her recording career was “Camera Camera”, released in 1991. It was a slower paced record influenced by the Pet Shop Boys of London.

She was also a great host and appeared on TV with Sohail Rana in the starring role of “Sung Sung.” The first-ever, all-pop music stage program ever aired on TV, “Music 89,” was co-hosted by her brother Zohaib Hassan and produced by Shoaib Mansoor. She hosted Dhanak too.
