Islamabad: Spotify has revealed Nehaal Naseem as the first ambassador for its EQUAL Pakistan campaign for 2024, kicking out the year on a bright note. As part of the accolade, Naseem’s track “Beqadra” has been featured on the EQUAL Pakistan playlist. This song, which Naseem referred to as her “baby,” has struck a deep chord with listeners, establishing it as a clear favorite for both the musician and her expanding fan base.
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.
Nehaal was excited and said, “It’s an honor for me to be selected at such an early age.” “I’m pleased with the efforts made by the Spotify EQUAL campaign to elevate Pakistani women musicians who have talent. She continued, “I’m hoping it will help level the playing field for female musicians and artists.
Last year, Nehaal Naseem was included as a Spotify Fresh Finds Pakistan artist, having had an incredible 2852% increase in monthly listeners. Since its release in February 2023, her song “Beqadra” has received over 7 million plays and has been number one on Pakistan’s top charts for 49 weeks running. Her transition from Fresh Finds to the EQUAL Pakistan artist demonstrates the extent to which Spotify’s trademark programs may help young musicians expand their audience.
Nehaal Naseem is the first ambassador for EQUAL Pakistan for 2024. She joins a distinguished group of inspirational voices, including Hadiqa Kiani and Nazia Hassan, as well as newer voices, like Arooj Aftab, Maria Unera, and Natasha Noorani, to mention a few, who serve as a special source of inspiration for upcoming and young female artists. Over the years, Spotify’s EQUAL effort has been instrumental in elevating the profile of accomplished female musicians in the digital era by offering a forum for their opinions to be acknowledged and appreciated.
