Tributes and condolences have been pouring in from fans around the world following the announcement of her death. In a 2020 interview with Youlin Magazine, Aslam reflected on her deep passion for music, sharing, “I’m not sure if I started pursuing music or music started pursuing me! I’ve always been really into music, almost to the level of obsession. I vaguely remember wondering how all the musicians fit inside a cassette tape when I was 4 or 5.”
