When I spoke to Arooj Aftab, it was just over a week since she had won the Grammy for Best Global Performance for her beautiful, moving song "Mohabbat." That victory was a lot of
"firsts." It was a new category, so she was the first artist to ever win it. It was _her_ first Grammy. And she was the first Pakistani woman not only to win a Grammy — but to even
be nominated for one! Her life, as you might imagine, was in a bit of a whirlwind. But she was able to take a moment between packing and catching flights to talk about the album that
winning song came from — called _Vulture Prince_ — and about her life. When Arooj was about 10 years old, her family moved to Lahore, Pakistan, from Saudi Arabia. You'll hear how music
brought her to America coming up — but first, that Grammy-winning performance. Copyright 2022 XPN
