Commenting on being EQUAL’s Ambassador of the month, Nastasha said: “I think it's an amazing opportunity for an artist from Pakistan because it's a way to connect globally. It means a lot to me because being the first girl from Hunza who managed to create her own space in the mainstream music scene of Pakistan was already a huge milestone for me and now Spotify’s EQUAL Artist campaign is enabling me to dream even bigger.”
