Early career and breakthrough

Zoheb and his sister Nazia spent their childhood in Karachi as well as London.[citation needed]

After the release of their first album, Disco Deewane, Nazia and Zoheb became the South-Asian sub-continent's first pop icons.[citation needed] Several successful albums established the duo's status as pioneers of pop music in the region. They sold over 85 million records worldwide and topped the charts in several countries, including South Africa, Guatemala, Colombia, and Venezuela.[citation needed]

Zoheb is a singer, songwriter and producer. He has received 12 gold, 4 platinum and 2 double platinum discs in his music career. He is also the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the United Nations Association of Pakistan and an award from Oxford University for Achievements in the field of South Asian Music. He took some time off from music after Nazia's demise to concentrate on his family business in Pakistan and the UK. [citation needed]

His latest album, SIGNATURE,[1] was released in 2017, in collaboration with EMI Pakistan and Sa Re Ga Ma (in India).[2][3] In an interview with Express Tribune, Zoheb reminisces, "Signature actually contains the last track that Nazia Hassan sung. Unfortunately she fell ill and plans for an album were put on hold." He also revealed that Nazia had sung alternate versions of "Koi Nahi", "Disco Deewane" and "Boom Boom" - all three of which have been put into one song in Signature. "The album revolves around my experiences and all that I and my family have experienced over the last 10 years or so," he added. He plans a documentary and released the album's first music video, 'Always On My Mind', the track bringing to mind, the original Always on My Mind.[4] The title is in English, but the lyrics are in Urdu. The music video features Zoheb himself, and portrays a celebrity's life, who loses out on his family life after his climb to success.[5]
