Quote: "It's in me. It's all the time in my mind, everywhere."
At a Glance: Hadiqa Kiani was discovered by her musician brother Irfan Kiani. Hadiqa Kiani was a succefull host in a weekly countdown show "Video Junction" also called "VJ". After singing for the
Lollywood movie "Sargam", Hadiqa Kiani established herself as the queen of Pakistani pop music. Her album "Roshni" was a mega success.
At the tender, sensitive and receptive age of 3, Hadiqa, along with her siblings was enrolled in a music school by her mother. The idea was to shield them from any psychological imbalances the passing away of their father might have had on their young minds. Little did she know what talent lay within one of her children and that it would becoming a desire that would burn into an undying passion for singing.
Her career achievements range from performing on the sound track to SARGAM for which she won an award, to performing with Junaid Jamshed, Aakash and Fakhr-e-Alam in the first Asian "DREAM TEAM WORLD TOUR 1996" which traveled across England. She had the opportunity to work with Bally Sagoo; performed once again as the first Asian in front of a 16 Million strong audience. Afterwards she worked on two more shows with Bally Sagoo for BBC 2 and ITV before moving to perform in the U.S. Her U.S. tour covered 15 states and a show in Canada too. She has performed in Hong Kong with Bally Sagoo, once again. The list of achievements goes on. The one she is most excited about, thus far, is having signed a 2 year contract with PEPSI as their second only solo female vocalist ever - Gloria Estefan being the first.
