There are very few voices that are immediately identifiable, comprising a combination of force and subtlety – Natasha Baig has that voice. Hailing from the scenic valley of Hunza, Baig was an athlete, playing under-19 cricket as an off-spin bowler in district matches.

Unable to pursue her passion for sports, Baig took to the one other love of her life: music. In a span of just a few years, she has carved a place for her sufi-rock genre of singing, a style that continues to be uncommon for the female singers of the region. In 2014, Baig was part of the first ensemble of Sounds of Kolachi, and contributed as a vocalist in the first album, “Elhaam” (2017), produced by Mekaal Hasan. She has shared the stage with mainstream acts and released original tracks such as ‘Kesaria’ with Mai Dhai (2017), ‘Ya Maula’ in Burushaski language and ‘Tu Nay Deewana Banaya’ to critical acclaim.
