He was one of the pioneers of pop music and
emerged to fame in the early 1980's.
However, he was already known to some people as
a semi-classical singer due to his work in the
classicial industry and his family popularity.
He is one of very few Pakistani pop singers with
full training in classical
singing.

time he was born. In 1972, when Sajjad was in
his sixth year, Tasadduq Husain, his uncle, a
cricketer and a music lover was overwhelmed by
his musical abilities. Due to this, Husain
started teaching music to Sajjad with his
classical collection. During Sajjad's training,
Husain played music from legenary classicial
artists such as Ustad
Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and Ustaad Barkat Ali
Khan and Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan. As time went on
Sajjad learnt and familiarized himself with the
various styles of music and instruments such as
ragas that allowed Sajjad to build his musical
talent.
