PERSONAL DATA:
Name: Muhammad Atif AslamDate of birth: 12th March 1983
Place of birth: Gujranwala
Currently residing in: Lahore
Life motto: MAKE PEOPLE HAPPYMuhammad Atif Aslam was born on 12th march 1983 inWazirabad, Gujranwala.Atif's kindergarten started inModel 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, the 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 was scorching heat 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 Paul's School. He started playing basket balland used to lead his school team for matches. Atif came back toLahore in 1995 where he continued his studies at 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 had 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 time 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 practising 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. Unintentionally, 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 practising in the nets at Shapes club Lahore where Imran Khan used to come and give tips to him for bowling.
The twist in the story came 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 thus, sacrifice his 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 Mekaal Hassan's Studio. Mekaal 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 soon 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.
After leaving Jal due to personal differences, Atif released his first solo album 'Jal Pari' on 18th July 2004 all over the nation by the country's leading record label, Sound Master and IC records & the results declared it as the best selling album of the year within just 5 months of the release. Limelight, interviews, fans, autographs, snaps, concerts, get-togethers, travelling- 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 Bachelors in Computer Science (hons) from University of Central Punjab.
His first major concert was at Al Hamra Hall, Mall Road Lahore where he performed during the break of a stage drama Moulin Rouge. On 14 April 2007, Atif performed in Royal Albert Hall. His first international concert was at W. StarDreamz Entertainment Group during his tour of USA and Canada with RDB and Annie.
Atif has a long list of the people who supported him throughout his career so far and he is very grateful to them all. In his encouraging family he has a very loving & simple mother who always prays for his success. His father, Muhammad Aslam, an Engineer from UET , is very happy to see the success of his youngest son. Atif has three brothers. Shahzad, the eldest one is an Engineer from UET plus a photographer who keeps on guiding Atif for the various aspects of his videos, images and tours. Shahbaz, an MBA from PCBA manages all the concerts of Atif .He also designs clothes for Atif.Sheraz, a computer Graduate from Allama Iqbal Open University, is a great graphic designer, painter and a Webmaster.
Performing live is the real test of any singer and it is believed that Atif is one of the best live singers in the country. Atif has done hundreds of live shows with local as well as international artists all over the globe for a lot of brands.
