Nazia Hassan singer (April 3, 1965 - August 13, 2000) and Syed Zoheb-u-Din Hassan (born November 18, 1966) were a singing sensation and pioneers of the Pakistani pop music scene during the 1980s.
Born into a well-to-do Karachi family, Nazia and Zoheb spent their teenage years in London. The brother and sister duo released their first album "Disco deewane" in 1980 and became an instant hit with the title song reaching the top of the Pakistani charts. They released their second album in 1982 titled "Star/Boom Boom". It was a sensation both in the United Kingdom as well as in South Asia. They shot to true stardom and fame as a result of the song "Aap Jaisa Koi" which Nazia Hassan sang for the Indian movie "Qurbani, 1980" made by actor/producer Feroz Khan when she was just fifteen.
After 4 albums, with 4 being huge hits in the 80s, Nazia went on to get married in 1995 and Zoheb went on with his solo career which was short lived.
Nazia Hassan died of ovarian cancer in London in 2000 at the age of 35. Her brother Zohaib Hassan help set up a charity foundation named after her to help in creating support systems for children in need as well as providing homes for them. The foundation also sponsors awards in recognition of individuals who promote greater harmony between cultures. The recipients of these awards will be selected from all fields ranging from music and the arts to science, sport, business, engineering, humanities and charitable work, politics, etc. The Nazia Hassan Foundation seeks to promote fusion between different cultures, traditions and beliefs.
The Indian-British composer Biddu had a significant hand in her success.
