Haroon is a Pakistani singer born in London, to a New Zealander mother and Pakistani father. The former lead singer for the Pakistani patriotic band Awaz, Haroon returned to the music scene at the turn of the century when he released his solo album Haroon ki Awaz ('Haroon's voice') in October 2000. His second album Lagan ('desire' or 'attachment') was released in September 2002. Haroon is known for the uniqueness in his albums, his tendency to mix genres and experiment with amalgams of cultures. In this, he is in part representative of a new style of Music of Pakistan that is heavily influenced by western pop. His songs are most frequently performed in Urdu, Punjabi, and Arabic, but he has shown some more variety, for example, in his hit song Mahbooba to which he adds some Arabic lyrics.
Haroon has just completed work on his third solo album tentatively titled "Haroon Ka Nasha," to be released in 2006. All the songs have been composed, recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by Haroon at his studio "Haroon's Turbo Charged Funky Lil" Studio.
