Hotsteppers Of The Week: Zeb & Haniya

With the release of their debut album, Chup, which has made waves in the music scene, Zeb and Haniya are Instep's hotsteppers of this week.

Zeb and Haniya, two very talented young musicians, have proved to be professionals at what they do. Their debut album was sold out at the very day of its release and that didn't come to us as a surprise. After all, the duo is the only female musicians around.

With Zeb being trained under the guidance of Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan, it isn't a shock that the singer has greatcontrol over her vocals. Haniya, on the flip side, is a guitarist and that too, a very original one. Chup is a classic album and has proved to be a must buy for all and sundry.

These two have managed to create soft pop and folk music that defines originality. Their first video 'Aitebar', can be frequently seen on television and is directed by Saqib Malik. It consists of a couple dancing away gracefully and is shot at the very house of the director. 'Aitebar' focuses on expression through body language and has been immaculately executed.
