SD: When was it you first realized that music was your passion?
Halina: I was quite young about 14/15 years old and I had the ability to sense good music which led me to discover my voice! I used to perform at jamming sessions with my family and friends but later all came in place and pushed me to dream about releasing my own single!
SD: Did you take on any professional training to make your mark?
Halina: Yes, my ustaad comes every alternate day and way before I thought of releasing my single I used to practice music which made me get better and better each day because there’s always room for improvement.
SD: Is there a specific music genre you cater to?
Halina: Well, I am a pop singer but I believe in versatility. So I’d want to cater to what I can pursue well.
SD: How do you wish to expand your musical persona to cater to people of different walks of life?
Halina: I don’t wish to stick to one genre. I want to explore what can be done and what I am capable of. Of course I want to sing for myself, for this undying passion within me but if people like my songs then why not give or release something the trend is going towards!
SD: Are there any new releases to expect in 2022?
Halina: Definitely, I have a lot planned – fingers crossed.
SD: Do you feel our music industry is advancing strong enough to make a global impact?
Halina: 100% – the talent in our country is impeccable! In my opinion we already have made a global impact.
SD: Is there a music collaboration you wish for and why?
Halina: Let’s keep that a secret.
SD: How do you bring forth a creative edge to your music ?
Halina: I let my composers do the magic and let me be a part of it.
SD: Do you feel there is heavy competition to keep artists on their toes to create magic with tunes?
Halina: No doubt, the talent in the world keeps on releasing HITS (which ain’t a bad thing) but one feels like we should push ourselves to do best too!
SD: What led to the creation of Halina Khan Couture?
Halina: I’m an artist and I always wanted to share my creativity with the world by designing or by music. Halina Khan Couture is my first creativity which people love!
SD: Do you feel entrepreneurship came to you naturally?
Halina: It runs in the family, but yes… I always wanted to do something of my own!
SD: What were the major setbacks you had to face while making your mark in the world of fashion?
Halina: The clothing competition is REAL! Especially in Pakistan. As you need to cater to what people like in this country, getting the right thing out is kinda tough.
