Mustafa Zahid (born 18 December 1984) is a Pakistani music composer and singer-songwriter who gained success with his 2007 singles "Toh Phir Aao" and "Tera Mera Rishta." He has sung several hit songs for Bollywood films and is also the lead vocalist of Roxen, a rock band formed in 2004.
Early life and education
Mustafa was born in Lahore. He is the Nephew of Ali Azmat, the former lead vocalist of the famous rock band Roxen, and is also related to the late Sufi kalam singer, actor, director, and producer Inayat Hussain Bhatti. As a child, he never thought he would become a singer. 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.
He graduated from University of Central Punjab's Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) and later did his Master's from the National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore.
Music career
Roxen
He formed the rock band Roxen in 2004; "Roxen" comes from the Persian language, and means as per Mustafa "a small window or a hole in a criminal cell from which the light gets in and provides hope and freshness." Their debut album, Rozen-E-Deewar, 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 had signed Mustafa Zahid and Roxen for the worldwide release of their upcoming album.
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.
