Born Zebunnisa Bangash, Zeb has roots in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is based in Lahore. She began developing her musical identity at a young age and later emerged professionally alongside her cousin Haniya Aslam as the acclaimed duo Zeb and Haniya. Their music introduced audiences to a fresh combination of folk influences, acoustic arrangements and contemporary songwriting. Their debut album, Chup!, released in 2008, became an important early milestone in Zeb’s career and helped establish her as a distinctive voice in Pakistan’s independent music scene.
Zeb Bangash’s Musical Journey
Zeb Bangash’s rise to prominence was closely connected with Zeb and Haniya, but her artistic career eventually developed well beyond the duo. She became known for a style that did not depend on conventional pop formulas. Instead, her music often combines emotional vocals with folk melodies, Sufi influences and modern production.
Her association with Coke Studio Pakistan further increased her national profile. Zeb has appeared on the platform in several seasons and performed songs including “Paimona,” “Chup,” “Chal Diyay,” “Bibi Sanam Janem,” “Tann Dolay,” “Aja Re Moray Saiyaan” and “Roshe.” Her collaborations on Coke Studio demonstrated her ability to work with artists from very different musical backgrounds.
One particularly memorable performance was “Aja Re Moray Saiyaan,” performed with Noori during Coke Studio 9. The song showcased Zeb’s delicate vocal delivery while placing her alongside a contrasting contemporary rock sound. It became another example of her ability to experiment without losing the emotional character of her voice.

She contributed vocals to Madras Café in 2013 and subsequently worked on Highway in 2014. Her film-related work continued with projects such as Fitoor. These collaborations gave her an opportunity to take her voice beyond Pakistan and introduce her musical style to wider South Asian audiences.
Another major milestone came with the 2016 Bollywood film Lipstick Under My Burkha. Zeb Bangash became the first Pakistani artist to serve as music director for a Bollywood film, an achievement that remains one of the defining highlights of her professional career. The film subsequently received 18 international film awards, giving the project and its music considerable international visibility.

Her voice has appeared on soundtracks for films including Bin Roye, Manto, Ho Mann Jahaan, Verna, Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Baaji, Parey Hut Love and Superstar. She has also contributed to a number of Pakistani television soundtracks and title songs.
One of the most important songs of her career is “Yar-e-Mann,” the celebrated title track of the television drama Diyar-e-Dil. The song became closely associated with the drama and demonstrated Zeb’s ability to convey emotion through restrained and expressive vocals.
