  • According to him, he evaluated their potential as singers.

Shiraz Uppal recently addressed a controversy surrounding his comments about mentoring Atif Aslam and Aima Baig. Speaking on actor-host Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, Uppal clarified that he provided guidance to top performers like Atif Aslam and Aima Baig to refine their vocal skills and tonality, evaluating their potential as singers.

During a chat show, Uppal clarified the misunderstanding, stating, “I never said that I taught them how to sing; people misunderstood my remarks. They are naturally talented singers.” He further explained, “As a music producer and singer, I understand the nuances of vocal expression needed for my compositions. My role was to guide them on pronunciation, tone, and expression, not to mentor them in singing from scratch.”

Earlier, Uppal had mentioned, “When I worked with Aima on ‘Kalabaaz Dil,’ she initially sang with a Western style. I coached her to adapt to the required tonality, and she quickly grasped it.” Reflecting on Atif Aslam’s development, he noted, “Atif had a powerful voice but needed help expressing emotions in his singing, especially in romantic songs. I advised him on how to deliver words with the right emotional depth, and he successfully incorporated that advice.”

Shiraz Uppal Reveals His Father Referred His Passion As Derogatory

Shiraz Uppal

Singer Shiraz Uppal, renowned for his Coke Studio song “Tu Kuja Man Kuja,” recently disclosed that his father initially disapproved of his music career, allowing him to pursue it only after completing his MBA. With a successful music career since 1995, Uppal also discussed the rise of instant fame through social media.

During an appearance on the chat show Chocolate Times, Uppal revealed, “No, not at all. My father was an army officer, so it was even more difficult for me to explain my passion to him.”

He shared his father’s disapproval, saying, “He used to say things like, ‘tu eh banna hai? (you really wanna become this)’ as something he looks down upon but he had only one demand. He wanted me to complete my MBA and then I was allowed to do whatever I want.”

Regarding social media’s impact on fame, Uppal mentioned, “When I entered the industry back in 1995 when I was doing my MBA, there was little to no support. Maybe my music wasn’t good enough or maybe people couldn’t relate to it back then. But I persisted and got a great response on Tera Tay Mera – my second album.”

He humorously observed the evolving term “artist,” including TikTok stars being called artists now, and speculated about the future of fame, saying, “Time is evolving though, and who knows what the limit of fame will be in the future. Maybe people only listen for a few seconds or a minute.”

Looking ahead, Uppal excitedly shared his plans for his music career, stating, “It’s been a decade that I have been singing only film songs and OSTs, so I have been neglecting my pop music. I will make a comeback now.”
