Arooj Aftab

Embrace the beauty of the in-between with Grammy-nominated vocalist, composer, and producer Arooj Aftab!

Aftab’s liminal sound floats within several spaces one might not have imagined—between new age and classical minimalism, Sufi devotional poetry and electronic trance, singer-songwriter structure and states of pure being. Drawing from a deep emotional reservoir, her soulful and entrancing voice unites classical Urdu poetry, American Jazz, and modern composition into something utterly unique.

NPR praised her single “Lullaby” as one of the “Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women+”; the New York Times called her “Island No. 2” one of the “25 Best Classical Music Tracks of 2018”; Barack Obama added Aftab to his 2021 Summer Playlist; and—if that’s not enough—she is nominated in two categories for the 2022 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.
