Extending the 600-year old Qawwali tradition of his family, Khan is
widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international
audiences.[8] He is popularly known as "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali", meaning "The King of Kings of Qawwali".[9]
Born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, Khan had his first public performance at age of 16, at his father's chelum. He became the head of the family qawwali party in 1971. He was signed by Oriental Star Agencies,
Birmingham, England, in the early 1980s. Khan went on to release movie
scores and albums in Europe, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the U.S.A. He
engaged in collaborations and experiments with Western artists, becoming
a well-known world music artist. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries.[10]
