Fuzön is a pop‑rock band from Karachi, Pakistan, formed in 2001. The name comes from fusion, reflecting their mix of Pakistani classical music with modern soft rock and Sufi singing. The founding members were Shallum Asher Xavier and Imran Momina, who teamed up after finding similar musical ideas. They invited Shafqat Amanat Ali to join, and together they formed Fuzön. The band blends pop and rock with traditional musical influences.

In 2011, Shafqat left to focus on solo work and was replaced by Rameez Mukhtar as the main vocalist. Their debut album Saagar, released on Virgin Records, has 12 tracks that blend pop melodies with classical and folk sounds. Songs like Aakhon Kay Saagar, Akhiyaan, Terey Bina, and Khamaaj were popular on TV and radio in Pakistan and India. Saagar was released in both Pakistan and India at the same time, a first for a Pakistani band. Khamaaj is an old song and the Thumri on the album was inspired by the Patiala Gharana; Saagar was composed by Shafqat Amanat Ali.
