Nightingale of Karachi








Aficionadose of local music scenes are familiar with her voice, she does small but powerful performances often singing 'difficult' songs almost effortlessly. Those who have not been fortunate enough to be serenaded by her live performance would know her as the millifluous voice behind many television drama soundtracks- most probably for, award- winning soundtrack for 'Dil i Maztar'. Alycia Dias (+), attributes existence and playback singing career to musician and producer Waqar Ali (Brother of famous Pakistani singer Sajjad Ali). It did not take long to judge the potential that Alycia's voice had, he immediately selected her to sing for the soundtrack 2013 Urdu-dubbed version of the Turkish drama 'Noor', Since then Alycia's playback career simply took off. She recently held series of solo concerts at Pak-American Cultural Center Karachi. Her father and brother include her band. Young 22-year-old Alycia is still in college and completing her baccalaureate in Iqra University. Not only that she is also a mum. She began singing in church choir when she was six years of age. She might have recorded many songs in Urdu during yje course of her playback career, but English is the language she is more comfortable singing and writing in. She does not seem in hurry to record her album or launch her solo music career. Courtsey ( Madeeha Syed of Dawn Newspaper)
