“A fresh voice in Pakistan’s music landscape.”
Spotify has named dance pop artist Neha Karim Ullah as its EQUAL Pakistan Ambassador for the first quarter of 2026, spotlighting her rising influence in contemporary music.
The announcement places the emerging performer among a growing circle of Pakistani women redefining sound, identity, and representation on global streaming platforms.
As part of the recognition, Neha appeared on a towering Times Square billboard in New York City on January 22, 2026, marking a significant milestone.
Her feature also included placement across several high-visibility curated playlists, expanding her reach among international listeners and dedicated regional audiences simultaneously.
Neha’s musical style blends electronic rhythms with emotionally driven storytelling, creating a sonic balance that resonates with youthful and cross-cultural listeners worldwide.
Her highlighted track ‘Aao Toh Zara’ has particularly strengthened her recognition, earning attention for its modern production and relatable lyrical narrative.
Streaming data indicates her audience now stretches beyond Pakistan into the United States, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.
Millennials and Gen-Z listeners collectively form nearly eighty-five percent of her followers, underscoring her alignment with present youth-driven listening trends.
Within the dance pop landscape, Neha continues to display range through energetic releases that celebrate rhythm while preserving introspective musical layers.
Songs like ‘Modern Day Witch Trial Mdwt’ and ‘Deewanay’ emphasise movement and bold soundscapes, while ‘Na Karoon’ reveals a softer emotional depth.
Reflecting on the milestone, Neha described the initiative, saying:
“It’s one of the most incredible initiatives we have for women in music.”
She further expressed that “being part of an initiative that uplifts women, pushes representation forward, and inspires the next generation of girls” felt deeply meaningful.
