“After that I became quiet, I became lonely and then I heard Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with Michael Brooks. This is about 20-23 years ago and my elder brother made me hear that album. When I heard it I thought it is something amazing. It started calming me, it started making me talk to God. When I started praying I started getting the answers”, added Atif.

Atif further said that “During this period I explored myself and I got to know that I have a voice. Our house was empty because we were shifting somewhere else, I started singing there. I had no clue about music, I was 13 or 14 years old. Then first time when I used high notes I got scared and left it. Than I got a guitar from my friend and I started playing with that guitar. When I started playing with those strings of guitar I started loving it and I started singing with those tunes. That Instrument played a major role in starting my career as a singer.”

“I recorded my first song with my own money. My father used to give me like 50 bucks a day for my collage trip, so i saved that money and recorder my first song “Aadat”. People started loving it and wanted to see who the guy is because it was just the audio. Then I collected more money and shot the video. This is how it all started. Since then it’s no looking back”, says Atif.
