Atif Aslam On Fame At 19, His Father, And His First Album In 18 Years | One on One with Kris Fade
One On One with Kris Fade
Tuesday, 11 August 2026 - 55 minutes
Atif Aslam has sold out arenas across the world, but he cannot walk into a grocery store. He waits in the car while his wife does the shopping.
In this episode, the Pakistani superstar sits down with Kris Fade for one of his most open conversations to date. He talks about being handed money, fame and access at nineteen and the brother who kept him safe. He explains why his new album Subah Aye Na took eighteen years to arrive. He describes learning to play on a rusty three string guitar and not discovering for a year that it was meant to have six.
He talks about prayer as submission rather than asking. About singing on stage a song that nearly broke him, and why that is his therapy. About the father he lost, and what he would say to him now.
And on the music that has been banned in India for a decade, he says something you will not expect.
Atif also picks up a guitar and sings, a first for this podcast.
