Biography

Singer, songwriter, and musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - born Pervez Fateh Ali Khan on October 13, 1948, in Faisalabad, Pakistan – was a qawwali singer and is now regarded as one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Qawwali is a form of Sufi devotional music, but he was able to reach a worldwide audience based on the strength of his voice and performances. Often referred to as the greatest qawwali singer ever, he is also acknowledged as the greatest Sufi singer in the Punjabi and Urdu languages. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan grew up in a family of musicians. He took part in his first recording sessions in 1973 and became an innovator by incorporating several languages into his repertoire -  Punjabi, Urdu, Persian, Braj Bhasha, and Hindi. He was a master of his art and soon became known in the West, first among the Indo-Pakistani diaspora in the early 1980s, then among the general public, thanks to his friendship and musical association with Peter Gabriel. The British singer and former Genesis vocalist introduced Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to the American and British markets, collaborating with him on several projects as well as producing several of his albums. During this period, the albums Shahen-Shah (1988), Mustt Mustt  with Michael Brook (1989), Shahbaaz (1991), and Devotional Songs (1992) enjoyed worldwide success. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan also appeared on many film soundtracks including Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (i1994) and Dead Man Walking (1996), where he collaborated with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.
