Early life
Suhaee Abro was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. Her mother (Attiya Dawood) is a well-known poet. Her father (Khuda Bux Abro), a visual artist, introduced her to many different kinds of world music.[3]
Abro began her training in classical dance at the age of seven from classical dancer Sheema Kermani, and performed in her first music video at the age of eight. She began appearing in telefilms when she was twelve.[4]
In 2010, after an injury that required surgery to her tailbone, Abro's doctor warned her not to dance. Because she had promised to perform a dance at her school, however, Abro performed sitting on the edge of the stage, just moving her hands and face, earning applause from the audience.[3]
