Noor–ul–Ain, popularly known as Annie, and also as Annie Khalid (born 27 March 1987 England when she was six months old. She grew up in East London, attended a girls' school, Plashet School and later moved to Essex with her parents. Annie was born in Lahore on 27 March 1987. She came to UK at the age of 6 months. She grew up in East London and later moved to Essex with her parents. She went to Plashet girl‟s school where she used to be one of the most influential girls in the form. Her teachers used to warn her to be careful of her footsteps because there were a lot of girls who would follow her. Annie used to be a little devil at school and occasionally bunked at lunchtime to get her friends „kebab rolls,‟ from the local takeaway. Annie grew up in a very multicultural town. She was a part of the East London Dance Company. She enrolled into dance workshops during her half term vacations. In late 2005 Annie, sitting bored at home, started humming a melody. She took that melody to a friend who introduced her to a music arranger. Together they came up with a very simple, yet catchy song, which Annie decided to call “Mahiya.” Annie was encouraged by family and friends to take it a step further. A record company got in touch with her and preparations for a video was made.
'BOOM BOOM DANZE' is the catchy, up beat and energetic dance track with a reggae twist that is looking set to be a big hit this month, with the backing of Annie’s army of fans worldwide, as well as introduce her to a new mainstream audience with the many reggae & European club mixes also available. Annie Khalid first made waves with her first single 'Mahiya' which spread like a virus throughout the Asian population worldwide before being picked up by leading Bollywood producers for the movie 'Awarapan' when Annie was still in her teens. Since then she’s had worldwide success with a blossoming modelling career in which she became the face of Pepsi's mass marketing campaign in Pakistan, resulting in Annie's face appearing on millions of drink cans, bottles and billboards. Annie has also worked on campaigns with leading hairstylists Toni & Guy and had the honour of being the first Pakistani artist to do an international campaign with European telecom giant Lebara Mobile. She released the single 'Be My Baby' with internationally recognised dance DJ Judge Jules in 2010 and another single, 'Just 3 Words' with chart-topping British boy band A1. Annie has also had the privilege to perform at the 2012 Emmy Awards in Norway. Annie's impressive music and modelling career thus far has enriched an army of fans, with a following of over 400,000 fans on Facebook and thousands more across the internet. Her eagerly anticipated forthcoming single 'Boom Boom Danze' releases on 30th September and features one of the Kings of the Reggae music world, Beenie Man, adding further buzz amongst Annie's already huge and rapidly growing fan base. The single features a video shot in Jamaica with Beenie Man and has already had over 150,000 hits on YouTube, with the song being a dance floor hit in clubs across Europe.
