Tina Sani
Tina Sani, a well known geet and ghazal singer,
was born in Dhaka. She studied in Kabul before moving to Karachi, where she
earned a diploma in design and began working for an advertising agency in
1977. She was involved in all the creative aspects of advertising business,
including listening to and evaluating the music that is an integral part of
advertising. One day a friend who had heard her sing casually at home asked
her to record a jingle. This led to her career as a singer.
Encouraged by her obvious talent, her parents engaged a music teacher to
give her formal training at home. Her career was launched in 1987, when she
accepted an offer to sing for Karachi Television's "Tarang".
This was her breakthrough; its title song"Khari neem key neechey" became
a household song. Then she began to take her singing very seriously.
Teaching sessions and a daily practice schedule became a routine.
Tina had taught briefly at the International School in Karachi, so when
Karachi TV offered her "Rang
Tarang," she accepted
immediately. The show, a series for children, was an instant success, and
Tina contributed to the script, the music, the concepts, and of course the
singing. Around this time Tina met for some time composer Arshad Mahmud, who
has been her friend and guide. He began to work with Tina on her
interpretation and rendering of the poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. By singing
Faiz, Tina feels that she is taking his message to the people, who have been
wonderfully receptive to her efforts.
Tina is a skillful ghazal singer
in the traditional Punjabi
style. Her debut rendition of a Punjabi song, "Akhiaan
Chham Cham Waseeyaan," became
an instant hit. Later, she tried singing pop selections and traditional naghmas,
eventually graduating toghazals. Tina Sani was lucky enough to
achieve nearly instant acclaim and is very popular among younger music
buffs.
