A pop icon from his days, Hassan Jahangir owns a voice and a persona unlike any rockstar of his era. With his leather jackets, trademark dance moves, up-tempo melodies – he pulled of lyrics few other singers could possibly have gotten away with. ‘Love to Love’ (1984), ‘Disco Babrela’ (1986), ‘Hava Hava’ (1987) and his most iconic, ‘Shadi Na Karna Yaron’ (1989) – stayed on top of the pop charts for weeks and weeks.

An aspiring fine artist, Jahangir considers the radio to be his first ustaad and made his first stage appearance when he was in grade 7. Arriving on the scene at the time when Nazia Hasaan, Shehki and Alamgir were all the rage – he drew his influence from legends like Mehdi Hassan, Ahmed Rushdie, KISS and Rolling Stone.

Playing in small clubs of Karachi back in the late 80s, Jahangir has reinvented himself as a superstar who can truly charge up a crowd with his signature antics, to-date. He’s currently playing shows whilst recording soundtracks and new singles to release.
