Bio

An aspiring young musician from Lahore, Pakistan, Arooj Aftab is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Arooj hopes that her four years of academic study will allow her to develop her talent and bring her technique to a standard of excellence.

Arooj is very sensitive to global issues. She speaks openly about her views on human rights, equality, politics, both in her country and internationally. She envisions musicians working together as social activists, motivating people with music and inspiring them to make strong, positive changes.

With a line up of musicians from Greece, Turkey, India, Argentina, Spain, and many more, Arooj’s music is a refreshing and peaceful fusion of world instruments with semi-classical Pakistani vocal influences. She is keen on introducing her music to Western audiences and hopes to explore even newer musical horizons.
