Nazia was interested in music from a very young age and began singing at the age of 15. She was trained in classical music by the legendary Pakistani musician, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. She also learned to play the piano and the guitar.

Nazia's first big break came when she was just 16 years old. She was asked to sing the title track for a Pakistani film called "Star". The song became a hit and Nazia became a household name in Pakistan.

In 1981, Nazia and her brother, Zoheb Hasan, formed a pop duo called "Nazia and Zoheb". The duo released their first album, "Disco Deewane", in 1981. The album was a huge success and became one of the best-selling albums in Pakistan's history. It spawned several hit singles including "Disco Deewane", "Boom Boom", and "Dil Ki Lagi".

In 1982, Nazia and Zoheb released their second album, "Star/Boom Boom", which was also a huge success. The album included hits such as "Baat Ban Jaaye", "Tere Bina", and "O Meri Jaan".

In 1983, Nazia and Zoheb released their third album, "Young Tarang", which was a fusion of traditional Pakistani music and Western pop. The album was a hit and included hits such as "Aap Jaisa Koi", "Dosti", and "Dil Ki Lagi".

In 1985, Nazia and Zoheb released their fourth album, "Hotline", which was a departure from their previous work and featured more Western-influenced pop music. The album was a hit and included hits such as "Aankhon Ke Saagar", "Ishq Mujhko Nahi", and "Sun Mere Sajna".

In 1992, Nazia released her fifth and final album, "Camera Camera", which was a more experimental and electronic-influenced album. The album was a hit and included hits such as "Meherban", "Dil Se", and "Dil Ki Baat".

Nazia's music was popular not only in Pakistan but also in India, where she was known as the "Queen of Pop". She was the first Pakistani artist to win the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer, which she won in 1983 for the song "Aap Jaisa Koi" from the film "Qurbani".

Nazia's contributions to Pakistani music were recognized by the government of Pakistan, which awarded her the Presidential Pride of Performance award in 1991.

Nazia retired from music in 1992 to focus on her studies and later became a television host. She died on August 13, 2000 at the age of 35 due to lung cancer.
