Maha Ali Kazmi (Urdu: مہا علی کاظمی) is a Pakistani singer-songwriter[1] who was born and grew up in Karachi[2] and is of Kashmiri descent.[3] She completed her higher education from Monash University, Melbourne Australia,[4] and upon returning to Pakistan she began her musical career as the back-up vocalist for Cornetto Music Icons in 2013.[5] She released her debut single "Nazar" soon after.[6]
Maha trained under the tutelage of Ustaad Rauf Saami from 2015 to 2016 and subsequently under Abdullah Haroon from 2017 to 2024, who himself is a disciple of the esteemed Ustad Rasees Khan.[7][8] Maha has delved into both Eastern and Western musical influences, showcasing versatility in her repertoire. She also took contemporary Western vocal training in Singapore.[9]
Additionally, Maha's journey in the arts has been shaped by her heritage as a descendant of Wajid Ali Shah, the Nawab of Oudh, renowned for his support of art and dance.[10] Exploring various forms of expression, she has received training in Kathak classical dance under the guidance of Sheema Kermani and Alaina Roy.[11][12][13]
