Nader Mohammed Khan is a Canadian Muslim singer & songwriter who's been singing all his life - from his birth in Hyderabad, India, to the many stops the caravan of his life took until he arrived in Canada in the early 90's. Singing is a part of him and a passion.
He attended the University of Toronto (UTSC) and graduated at the turn of the century with a degree in Management and Economics. Throughout his time at university and also upon graduating, he remained actively engaged with the Muslim community on and off campus, whether it's running the campus MSA, making a memorable cameo appearance in a children's educational video series, teaching basic fiqh and tajweed to teenagers at Islamic summer camps, singing backing and lead vocals in studio recordings and staged concerts, or conducting orientation workshops and seminars for first year university students.
Somewhere in the midst of all this, he managed to get married and is now the father of two. Nader has performed live with various artists such as Ustadh Adnan Srajeldin and Dawud Wharnsby-Ali.
He is widely-traveled and has spent time with people from a broad variety of cultures and tradtions throughout his life. This is reflected in his work through the fusion of various genres, and the blending of many different styles, tunes, rhythms and modes. Nader lives in the east end of the glorious city of Toronto. He sings in English, Arabic, and Urdu. His first album was released in December 2008 in Toronto.
Nader's albums and concert bookings are handled through ReliefWorks, a unique initiative that promotes local and international relief efforts via Islamic music and arts, in pursuit of Divine pleasure through beauty, excellence, and service of His creation. ReliefWork's focus is prioritized on raising awareness and funds for local relief causes such as homelessness, food banks, and violence against women and children.
