‘Auto-tune’: Shiraz Uppal’s comments on Hira Mani’s singing

Veteran musician Shiraz Uppal has stirred up buzz by claiming that actress Hira Mani uses auto-tune in her singing. Shiraz was invited as a guest on ‘Mind Na Karna’ hosted by Ahmed Butt. The host asked about Hira Mani singing abilities.
Shiraz Uppal said, “I think she’s a fantastic actress, but as for her singing skills, I can make anyone sound like her using auto-tune in my studio.”

Taking about Hira Mani vocal abilities, he said, “Being a composer and singer, I would judge her seeing that performance.”
Uppal recently found himself in controversy after he said he trained Atif Aslam and Aima Baig. However, he clarified that he had guided A-list performers like Atif Aslam and Aima Baig to enhance their vocals and tonality, assessing their potential as singers.

Shiraz said, “I never said I taught them how to sing. People misunderstood me. They are very talented singers. I discussed that as a music producer and singer, I understand the expression I need from vocalists for my compositions. So, I guide them on pronunciation, tone of voice, and expression. However, this doesn’t mean I mentored them in singing.”
