With roots in the scenic Hunza Valley and a career built from Karachi’s music scene, Baig has emerged as a fierce and soulful performer redefining the sound of Pakistani fusion music.Early Life and Cultural Identity
Born and raised in Karachi, Natasha Baig belongs to the Burusho community of Hunza, a background that plays a central role in her identity and music. Although she did not receive traditional musical training, her passion for singing and deep interest in Sufi poetry and classical legends like Abida Parveen inspired her to craft a sound both raw and spiritual.
Baig’s music draws on her multiethnic heritage, and she performs in several languages including Urdu, Punjabi, Burushaski, Sindhi, and Pashto, amplifying diverse voices from Pakistan’s cultural mosaic.
Career Breakthrough and Musical Journey
Natasha Baig rose to national attention in 2013 as a finalist on the reality show Cornetto Music Icons, mentored by singer Zoe Viccaji. Her performance of Dekha Na Tha (originally by Alamgir) showcased her gritty voice and emotional delivery, setting her apart from mainstream pop acts.
In the years that followed, she became lead vocalist for the fusion band Sounds of Kolachi, before forming her own live band featuring her brother Sameer Baig on guitar. Together, they cultivated a fresh sound that merged rock instrumentation with spiritual poetry.
Baig co-founded the indie label and production house Laal Series, giving her artistic independence and a platform to release original music videos and concept-driven content.
Coke Studio and National Recognition
Natasha Baig gained major recognition through Coke Studio Season 11, performing “Shikwa/Jawab-e-Shikwa” alongside the Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad Qawwal Group. The performance was celebrated for its bold reinterpretation of Allama Iqbal’s iconic poetry, fusing classical qawwali with Baig’s rock-influenced vocals.
Her delivery of “Shikwa” in a rugged, assertive tone juxtaposed beautifully with the traditional style of her collaborators, cementing her status as one of the most powerful voices in Pakistan’s contemporary music space.
Albums and Major Releases
In 2020, Natasha released her debut studio album “Zarya”, a deeply personal and culturally rooted record featuring 10 original tracks. The album explored themes of womanhood, identity, inner battles, and regional unity, blending Sufi texts with modern rock production.
Her follow-up album “Khirad” (2022) was a musical tribute to Iqbal’s philosophy, combining poetic verses with ambient rock and folk overtones. It gained widespread appreciation and was promoted globally as part of Spotify EQUAL Pakistan, where Natasha was named Ambassador for July 2022 and featured on a Times Square billboard in New York.
