Declared “the coolest rock star in the world right now,” by UNCUT magazine, Arooj Aftab has earned her position at the vanguard of creative music for her embrace of risk and nonconformity.
Night Reign, her fourth solo album, received universal acclaim and earned Grammy nominations for Best Alternative Jazz Album, while the song “Raat Ki Rani” was tabbed for Best Global Music Performance.
Night Reign’s predecessor, Vulture Prince, ushered Aftab into the cultural zeitgeist, including a place on President Barack Obama’s Summer 2021 playlist. Recognition for the record propelled her to a Best New Artist Grammy nomination in 2022 and a win for the song “Mohabbat.”
Over the last few years, she has delivered “rapturous performances” at major venues and international festivals including Primavera, Glastonbury and Coachella. She recently made her late night television debuts on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Later with Jools Holland.
