Early life

Zafar was born in Lahore, Pakistan to two professors at the University of the Punjab in 1980. He attended the C.A.A. Public School and the Beaconhouse Defence Campus. He graduated from the National College of Arts as a painter in 2002.

Music career

Ali Zafar made his debut as a musician with the album Huqa Pani, released in Pakistan in 2003 and worldwide in 2005. It was described by The Hindu as “take a Kishore Kumar-like voice , club it with yuppie Ibiza-ish electronic beats, and add a bit of nostalgic lyrics”.[4] The comparison to Kishore Kumar has been frequently made: in one interview Zafar, asked about the vocal resemblance, remarked “you’re the lucky hundredth person to tell me that”.[5]

The album was a hit, selling over five hundred thousand copies worldwide and winning the ‘Best Album’ category at the Lux Style Awards in 2004. In addition to the album’s popularity being reflected in the shops and by critics, it has been widely claimed that Himesh Reshammiya plagiarised one of the most well-known tracks from the album, Rangeen, for the song Dillagi Mein Jo Beet Jaaye. Soon Pritam too copied his track Channo Ki as Choreen ki Baatein(Fightclub).

Ali Zafar launched his second album “Masty” nationwide in Pakistan in November 2006. He has since released four tracks from the album called “Masty”, “Sajania”, “Dekha” and “Aasman”. A press conference for the release of the album was held in Lahore. The album has been released by Fire Records.

Ali Zafar released his second album “Masty” in India in February 2007. The album contains two additional remix tracks and has been launched by “FrankFinn Records”.

Ali recently released his third and long awaited single, “Dekha”, off his second album, which is a massive hit all over Pakistan. It is shot in Malaysia, produced by the Lux Company, and has the famous Pakistani actresses/models, Reema Khan, Meera, and Amina Haq, starring in it. Ali Zafar, in an interview regarding this video, said that this has to be his most expensive video yet.

Ali Zafar’s recent 2007 Canadian tour turned out to be the most successful Pakistani shows in history of the cities.

My first ever girlfriend

Last three days were totally dedicated to my first ever girl friend. I spent most of the time with her recollecting memories of the days and nights we’d spent together. The passion we’d shared. Reminded me of the time when we were so engrossed into each other that the world would seem non-existent. I remember she’d shared my distress and my joy with me like no one else then and she’d shown me ways about myself that I would not have found alone. She was perhaps the only one who would make me express myself the way I wanted to…. granted me total freedom. So much so that she would even let me flirt around with others like her who would allow me means to reach my higher self. Her only condition was that I must be truthful to my emotion and give my best.

Years went by and we gave each other a lot but following the male nature, I wanted to move on .We broke up in 2003 . I pursued a more glamorous, popular and entertaining girl but stuck to my promise of being truthful to my emotion and gave her my best. She liked me back and we started to date. But even during my time with my new found love, I did miss her time to time. I think she did too but she was beyond all norms and her love for me was unconditional. I knew she would wait for me and she did.

I finally got to meet her two days back, at a new gallery that’s opened by Sanam Taseer in Lahore called ‘ The drawing room ‘. She was all over the place. I felt a part of me had revived after a long time. She was surrounded by admirers of her beauty . She spoke to everyone. I went and stood right in front of her and looked straight to her. And so she spoke to me. She spoke to me in words indescribable,with meanings unfathomable. And so they call her “Art “. I call her “The self “.

I continued to see her for the next two days at the final display of N.C.A thesis. She was drawn by many and had once again drawn many to her. I am once again drawn to her. I hope my glamorous girl friend that they call “ Music ‘ lets me flirt a little with my ‘ SELF ‘.
