During the first few seconds of Maham Suhail’s song, Pauna 6, I couldn’t help but think that, finally, a song has been released that’s neither retro/electro/ghazal pop nor emulating the oft-done ’90s angsty rock music style.
These are the genres currently dominating the music scene in Pakistan, to a point where it’s become quite repetitive and tedious. Pauna 6 by Maham Suhail had the beginnings of a track that promises new, experimental, fusion music, perhaps an approach that will provide a much-needed fresh perspective into the potential South Asian has of going into a whole new direction.

you & me
Singer, composer, and producer Maham Suhail has been singing since she was five, picking songs from her father’s eclectic collection. Singing stayed with her through school in the choir, then later with underground bands as Rock & Blues, till she finally started her formal S. Asian raaga training in 2012. From then on, it’s been a mix of a few styles as original compositions and productions. Although she was performing at classical and folk music conferences, collaborating with bands/theatre groups in India, and singing at music TV shows earlier, her first gig where she shared the stage with serious mainstream music industry professionals was the Lahooti Music Melo (Sindh, Pakistan) in 2016.
