Azam Khan

Mahbubul Haque Khan (28 February 1950 – 5 June 2011), known professionally as Azam Khan, was a Bangladeshi singer-songwriter, record producer, and the lead singer of the pioneering pop-rock band Uchcharon. Widely referred to as the "Pop Samrat" (Emperor of Pop) and "The Rock Guru", he is considered a founding figure of Bangladeshi rock and one of the most influential artists in the history of Bangladeshi popular music.

Born and raised in Dhaka, Khan began his musical career in the late 1960s. He was an active participant in the 1969 mass uprising and later fought as a freedom fighter during the 1971 Liberation War of Bangladesh.

Following the war, Khan established Uchcharon and achieved widespread commercial success throughout the 1970s with enduring hits such as "Rail Liner Oi Bostite", "Alal ar Dulal", "Saleka Maleka", and "Papri Keno Bojhena". In recognition of his significant contributions to the music industry, he was posthumously awarded the Independence Award, Bangladesh's highest civilian honour, in 2025.
