‘Baazi’! in conversationwith
Aima Baig
T
he young and versatile, Aima Baig debuted in Coke Studio Season 10 with her performance of ‘Baazi’, a playful, traditional Siraiki folk song, with Sahir Ali Bagga on Episode 3. Aima’s fresh voice set the song ‘Baazi’ aflame and her riveting vocals have already won many hearts. Having grown up singing both western and eastern music, Aima Baig began her on-screen career by appearing on popular local TV show, ’Mazaaq Raat’ honing her onstage persona and displaying her unique vocal talent. She came into her own with her film and TV soundtracks including Be Fikrian, Ehle Dil and Kalaabaaz Dil bagging a Lux Style Award for Best Singer (Female) - Film earlier this year. We caught up with Aima for an up, close and personal dialogue.

If you had to describe yourself using only three words, what would those words be? I can describe myself in three words if you really want me to. I’m sensitive, very sensitive
I felt like everyone was holding the camera and trying to make films.
weekend | conversation
and super sensitive, three words done! *Laughs Jokes aside, I really am quite a sensitive person. I am also passionate; I can be complicated at times because once I get upset with someone, it’s really hard for me to be fine with the person again. Usually I’m a simple person; I loved my mother a lot, we were very close, she passed away recently, but I feel like she’s always with me. I’m not very expressive, but people can judge if I really care about somebody through my actions. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? I’ve been singing since I was seven years old, but I never aimed to become a singer. I’ve graduated with Bachelors in Film and Television. But while I was studying, I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my education. I felt like everyone was holding the camera and trying to make films. Also although women have started
venturing into this field, in Pakistan it is still dominated by men. Music has always been my passion and I’ve been creating and composing music for quite some time now. I’ve written some music too. I got my break when I met Khawar Jawad at university. He gave me an opportunity to sing and my first track was Summer Wine with Mubashir Luqman. That was just the beginning and now I’m here, performing in Coke Studio, and singing three songs in my first season! How does it feel to be part of Coke Studio? Especially since Coke Studio is marking its 10th anniversary this year! Yes oh my god! It is a massive milestone for Coke Studio and I feel so blessed! My feelings cannot be described in words. I’m being honest; what I feel for Coke Studio is indescribable! It was always my dream to perform on
