Mustafa Zahid Explained
Mustafa Zahid (born 18 December 1984) is a Pakistani music composer[2] and singer who gained success with his 2007 singles "Toh Phir Aao" and "Tera Mera Rishta." He has sung several hit songs for Bollywood films and is also the band leader and lead vocalist of Roxen, a rock band formed in 2004.[3]
Early life
Mustafa was born in Lahore. He is the nephew of Ali Azmat,[4] the former lead vocalist of the famous rock band Junoon, and is also related to the late Sufi kalam singer, actor, director, and producer Inayat Hussain Bhatti.[5] As a child, he never thought he would become a singer. Known for his daring personality from a young age, he once hosted a college event where his professors asked him to sing. Hesitantly, he sang a few lines of "Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein," and this experience motivated him to pursue a career in singing.[6]
Mainstream and Bollywood
In mid-2007, two of Mustafa Zahid's songs were featured in the Bollywood movie Awarapan. He has since sung over a dozen Bollywood songs, including major hits in films such as Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain.[7] Mustafa is also among the top three most-followed Pakistani artists on Spotify, with over 5.5 million followers.
Roxen

The album’s Indian release took place in mid-December 2008. Universal Music has signed Mustafa Zahid and Roxen for the worldwide release of their upcoming album.[8] [9]
