Arooj Aftab

Born and raised in Punjab, Arooj Aftab lives and works in the United States, where she graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. She’s a brilliant singer and a phenomenal composer with an original style that combines minimalism in the vein of Terry Riley with jazz ballads and the musical traditions of her homeland. If her mournful third album Vulture Prince doesn’t move you to tears, then (we’re sorry to say this) your heart is probably made of stone.
