5 Most Educated Pakistani Female Musicians You Didn’t Know About
In Pakistan, there’s a stereotype attached to Pakistan’s music fraternity that people who are in the ‘music business’ are not educated and that’s why they are in this field to make ‘easy money’ but guess what? That’s not true. There are people in our entertainment industry who are serving our country with their talent since years and they are in the business – after getting proper degrees/academic certifications to pursue their true calling – music!
Following are the 5 female musicians and their educational background will make you re-think about that old stigma attached to Pakistan’s music industry:
1. HADIQA KIANI

3. NAZIA HASSAN
Arguably the most popular and beloved female musician to ever grace the microphone from Pakistan, Nazia is the quintessential empress of Pakistan’s pop/disco music who is still remembered by millions of her admirers for her chartbusting hits.
