Since her debut, Nehaal Naseem, a youthful and energetic voice in Pakistani music, has been creating a stir. Her singing career took off in 2016 after a video of her performance went viral, demonstrating her remarkable talent at the tender age of 11. Ever since, Naseem has enthralled crowds with her tender performances and melodic vocals.
“It’s an honor for me to be selected at such an early age,” Nehaal said. “I’m pleased with the efforts made by the Spotify EQUAL campaign to elevate Pakistani women musicians who have talent.” She went on to say that she hopes it will help level the playing field for female musicians and artists.
Last year, Nehaal Naseem was named a Spotify Fresh Finds Pakistan artist after experiencing a staggering 2852% rise in monthly listeners. Since its debut in February 2023, her single “Beqadra” has gotten over 7 million plays and has been number one on Pakistan’s top charts for 49 weeks in a row. Her ascent from Fresh Finds to EQUAL Pakistan artist highlights the extent to which Spotify’s hallmark programs can aid new musicians.
Nehaal Naseem is the first ambassador for EQUAL Pakistan in 2024. She joins a prestigious set of inspirational voices, like Hadiqa Kiani and Nazia Hassan, as well as newer talents, such as Arooj Aftab, Maria Unera, and Natasha Noorani, to name a few, who serve as a unique source of inspiration for future and young female musicians. Over the years, Spotify’s EQUAL initiative has helped to raise the profile of talented female musicians in the digital age by providing a venue for their opinions to be acknowledged and valued.
