Pakistani-American singer Arooj Aftab has provided us another occasion to celebrate. The two-time Grammy nominee was recently featured on Times Square Billboard as Spotify’s Ambassador for EQUAL Pakistan.
As per Spotify’s statement, the popular streaming service’s initiative, EQUAL, aims to celebrate women creators by giving them a platform to share their content with the world.
The official Spotfity Pakistan’s account shared a picture and praised her achievement.
“This is a sign – Arooj Aftab has entered New York Times Square. Congratulations to #EQUALPakistan’s artist of the month.”
