An all rounder, Amir Azhar, can efficiently play the bass guitar, mandolin, rubab and the acoustic guitar. Due to an exceptionally early start and being a very fast learner from the age of 7, Azhar played his very first concert with the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as a bass guitarist when he was only 14.

Growing up in a musical family of Tafoo Brothers, who have greatly contributed to the film industry of Pakistan, Azhar has recorded with a range of artists himself, such as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shazia Manzoor, Rahim Shah and Fariha Pervez. He has also played the bass guitar with Mekaal Hasan Band on their albums, ‘Sab Tak’ and ‘Andholan’.

Amir Azhar’s first appearance on Coke Studio was in Season 4, where he played the mandolin on ‘Pyaar Naal’ by Attaullah Esakhelvi, making this the second appearance on Season 9, this year.
