Imagine a music icon who not only creates hits but also changes the way artists collaborate across borders.
Waris Baig is one such singer.
Appearing as a guest on Ambreen Fatima’s YouTube show, he talked about his journey, professionalism in India and his pride in representing Pakistan on an international level.
“I am the only star who gave work to Indians and did not go there to look for work,” he claimed.
“I worked on music videos in India featuring popular artists like Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, but I made sure that I was the one paying the Indian artists, not the other way around,” he shared.
The Kal Shab Dekha singer opened up about his views on music industry standards in both countries.
“I observed professionalism in India, something I feel is lacking in Pakistan. Despite this, I have maintained my pride and identity and I focus on uplifting Pakistan music industry without compromising on my values,” Waris said.
