- The great voice of the Qawwali

It is hardly possible to mention Faiz Ali Faiz without drawing parallels to his role model, the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Faiz Ali Faiz comes from a family of seven generations of qawwali singers and began his professional career at the age of 16. He distinguished himself early on with his virtuosic, rich and expansive vocal abilities and rumor has it that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan himself named him as his successor on his deathbed. In addition to carrying on the strong qawwali tradition, Faiz Ali Faiz has made a name for himself with various collaborations across different musical traditions.
