Atif Aslam (}}, born Mohammad Atif Aslam; 12 March 1983 in Wazirabad, Gujranwala, Pakistan) is a Pakistani pop singer. He is widely recognized in South Asia and has given several hit songs such as ''Aadat'', ''Woh Lamhe'', ''Tere Bin'', ''Bakhuda Tumhi Ho'', ''Pehli Nazar Mein'', ''Tera Hone Laga Hoon'', ''Tu Jaane Na'', ''Tere Liye''. He is best known for his powerful vocal belting technique. In 2008, he was awarded the ''Tamgha-e-Imtiaz'' by the Government of Pakistan.
He studied at PAF College, Lahore where he completed his F.Sc (Pre-engineering) with the class of 2001. He has represented his college cricket team and represented his college in various other cities as well. He won his first singing competition on Independence Day celebrations in the college. He then went to the University of Central Punjab and completed his Bachelors in Computer Science.
He met Goher- a guitarist who became his future Jal band-mate, at his college. Together they practiced and started doing mini-concerts for their friends. Atif used to perform on the songs of Junoon and Strings at these concerts. They started performing in their college, McDonalds, Uncle Bubba's Rabba Dabba and other restaurants. Thus began the original line up of Jal.
Jal recorded their first song ''Aadat'' at Mekal Hassan's Studio. The song became popular on different musical websites in Pakistan and was also aired on major radio stations of Pakistan like City FM 89, FM 100, Mast FM 103, FM 105 etc. The video for this song was released on ARY Digital and The Musik and then it was played on almost all the channels.
His first major concert was at ''Al Hamra Hall'', Mall Road Lahore where he performed during the break of a stage drama ''Moulin Rouge''. On 14 April 2007, Atif performed in Royal Albert Hall. His first international concert was at W. StarDreamz Entertainment Group during his tour of USA and Canada with RDB and Annie.
Atif also mentioned in a press conference held in Karachi that he will be working on an international project titled ''The Dreamer Awakes'', alongside members of American rock band Guns n' Roses. The song will be released in Summer 2011.
Aslam has began work on his fourth album. There were rumors circulating online that it is titled Shabnam. This was rubbished off by Atif. “Right now, my entire focus is on this project (The Dreamer Awakes). I may be singing with Chris Martin or John Mayer… we’re trying to bring a lot of people together.”
He also performed background vocals for scenes in ''Prince''. His latest Indian song was ''Le Ja Tu Mujhe'' from movie ''F.A.L.T.U''.
