Talal Qureshi

Talal Qureshi - Luminato Festival Toronto

Pakistani music producer and composer, Talal Qureshi, stands as a dynamic artist renowned for pushing boundaries in the electronic and experimental music realm. Seamlessly melding traditional Pakistani music with contemporary electronic sounds, he's become a vanguard of innovation.

TQ’s sonic palette spans bubblegum and synth-pop, a blend that defies norms and resonates globally. His groundbreaking and first-of-its-kind collaboration with Naseebo Lal birthed "AAG," a track which catalyzed a new era in Pakistani music. Bridging East and West, he crafted music that found its way to Marvel’s hit TV series ‘Ms. Marvel’ and even became an anthem for the Pakistani feminist movement Aurat March.

Tracks that Talal produced with other artists like ‘PAISA’, ’SWEETU’ and ‘Faltu Pyaar’ have gone on to become massive hits which not only revived the Pakistani music scene at a low point but led to those artists becoming hugely popular through them. Now a mainstay and lead collaborator in Coke Studio, Talal’s collaborative spirit knows no generational bounds. Artists like Atif Aslam, Faris Shafi, and Maanu have all harmonised with his vision. His international footprint extends from performances in the USA to collaborations with acts like Elliphant. Notably, he also played a pivotal role in bringing Diplo to Pakistan, further breaking the ceilings of what is possible for music in the country.

The next step on Talal Qureshi's trailblazing journey leads to his 2023 debut album "TURBO." With an innovative, futuristic blend of tradition and modernity, he cements himself as a sonic pioneer, etching sounds that resonate across time and culture.
