Expressing her pride and honor, Maher shared her excitement at being chosen as Spotify's EQUAL Pakistan ambassador for the month. She emphasized the importance of this initiative in providing a platform for female artists to be heard, appreciated, and celebrated.
Hareem Rashid, another influential figure in the music scene, began her musical journey on social media five years ago. Her songs like "AAG," "Dil Hariyaan," and "Scars" have solidified her status as a rising star with a growing audience. Her track "Pathar Dil" was included in the EQUAL Pakistan playlist for November, marking her induction into the program.
Reflecting on her achievement, Hareem expressed that becoming the ambassador of the month was not just a personal milestone but a collective effort to amplify female voices in music.
