Born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was selected at birth by his uncle to tutor Qawwali music. He started singing at just age three alongside his uncle and his father Farroukh Fateh Ali Khan, who is another respected Qawwali singer. Qawwali is a type of devotional music that is born out of the Sufi tradition of Pakistan and India. It is a vibrant and powerful form of music that has been cherished for many centuries as a way to connect with the divine and express deep spiritual emotions. After years of formal training in Qawwali music, Rahat officially joined his uncle's celebrated group when he was 15 years old. Rahat says, "Qawwali music is not only music, it is a message. It was created by Sufis, and when we compose and practice this music, it stays forever. Other music comes and goes, but Qawwali never goes. Once you start listening, it goes in your soul, goes in your spirit, and you become more human. I feel that this music is my duty, to go and give the message of Sufism. My future is that one day I will fulfill the desire of Nusrat to give this message to the world."
Since taking on the lead role, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has performed on a diverse number of recordings and has sung with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder at the Dead Man Walking Concert. He and his group continue to stun audiences around the world. The star’s self-titled release on American Recordings was his American debut. Recorded in Santa Monica, California, its four tracks are not only emotionally charged but performed to perfection, gaining recognition by heavyweights like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Beastie Boys famed producer Rick Rubin. Rahat isn’t only a Qawwali music powerhouse but a hero of the contemporary circuit as he plays alongside Western pop legends and lays down tracks in state-of-the-art studios.
