Shafqat Amanat Ali

Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan is a Pakistani classical singer of Patiala Gharana lineage, the son of Ustad Amanat Ali Khan and former lead singer with the Pakistani rock band Fuzön.

"He has been a student of the classical music tradition of India and Pakistan since age four. He was inspired towards music by his father, his uncle Ustad Fateh Ali Khan sahib as well as Roshanara Begum, to name a few.

Shafqat?s voice represents a unique blend of classical gayaki and contemporary panache. The soul in his powerful voice has the rare ability, which can carry the listener to the peaks of ecstasy and the depths of pain within moments. This very versatility makes him a vocalist par excellence. As the soulful voice traverses a gamut of emotions, the sheer perfection of his gayaki leaves the listener spellbound."
