Khalid has been acknowledged as Artist of the Year for 2024 by the leading audio streaming platform, under its RADAR Pakistan program.

RADAR Pakistan, a part of Spotify’s global emerging artist programme, is dedicated to identifying and elevating promising musical talents from across Pakistan and provides them with a platform to connect with audiences worldwide.

“Spotify RADAR is a huge deal to me for sure. I feel like I get to share my story with an even bigger audience and it feels so good to know that people can associate who I really am as a person with the perception they have of me as an artist,” Khalid said.

“I think that’s something I have been trying to do for a while and with RADAR […] I get insights on what my listeners are vibing with, what sound resonates more with people, just helps me know my audience better,” she added.

This honour follows Khalid’s prior selection as Spotify’s EQUAL Pakistan Ambassador in July 2023 and coincides with the release of her debut album.
