Notable British Natasha Khan of Pakistani descent
British Pakistanis are citizens of the United Kingdom whose ancestral roots lie in Pakistan. The UK has the second largest overseas Pakistani population after Saudi Arabia. Pakistanis make up a large subgroup of British Asians largely due to historical and colonial links and Pakistan still being part of the Commonwealth of Nations. The British Pakistani population is very diverse and differs from region to region.
British Pakistanis are victims of the North-South divide in Britain. British Pakistanis Bat For Lashes is the work of British singer / songwriter, multi- instrumentalist and visual artist Natasha Khan. Natasha Khan also known by her stage name “Bat for Lashes“, is a British musician. As a musician she sings and plays the piano, guitar, harpsichord and the autoharp.
Khan was born in London on 25 October 1979. Until the age of five she was raised in Wembley where her parents had met and married several years before. However her father, Rehmat Khan, a former professional squash player, decided to relocate the family to the commuter town of Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire to help with his coaching of future squash world open winner Jahangir Khan, Natasha’s uncle.
