Early life

Mustafa was born in Lahore. He is the nephew of Ali Azmat, [4] the former lead vocalist of the famous rock band Junoon, and is also related to the late Sufi kalam singer, actor, director, and producer Inayat Hussain Bhatti. [5] As a child, he never thought he would become a singer. Known for his daring personality from a young age, he once hosted a college event where his professors asked him to sing. Hesitantly, he sang a few lines of "Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein," and this experience motivated him to pursue a career in singing. [6]

Mainstream and Bollywood

In mid-2007, two of Mustafa Zahid's songs were featured in the Bollywood movie Awarapan . He has since sung over a dozen Bollywood songs, including major hits in films such as Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain . [7] Mustafa is also among the top three most-followed Pakistani artists on Spotify, with over 5.5 million followers.

Roxen

Their debut album, Roxen-E-Dewaar, was released in late 2006 and topped charts across South Asia for nearly six weeks. The album’s Indian release took place in mid-December 2008. Universal Music has signed Mustafa Zahid and Roxen for the worldwide release of their upcoming album. [8] [9]
