Tina Sani, a well known geet and ghazal
singer, was born in Dhaka. She studied in Kabul before moving to
Karachi, where she earned a diploma in design and began working for an
advertising agency in 1977. She was involved in all the creative aspects
of advertising business, including listening to and evaluating the music
that is an integral part of advertising. One day a friend who had heard
her sing casually at home asked her to record a jingle. This led to her
career as a singer.
Encouraged by her obvious talent, her parents engaged a music teacher to
give her formal training at home. Her career was launched in 1987, when
she accepted an offer to sing for Karachi Television's "Tarang".
This was her breakthrough; its title song "Khari neem key
neechey" became a household song. Then she began to take her singing
very seriously. Teaching sessions and a daily practice schedule became a
routine.
