KARACHI: Music has always been a means of uniting nations, diffusing international borders, and celebrating art and culture. The world moves ahead, step by step as it progresses in the field of art. The same has been true for Pakistan, that in recent years launched a number of musical platforms like Velo Sound Station and Kashmir Beats. Pakistan has had its musical streaming platforms in the past such as Patari, but what we needed in today’s global village was an App that allows our musicians to easily connect with listeners all across the globe. Until now any app that allowed that to happen was paid. But then, enters Spotify.

All you need to do is sign up with an account, whether Google or Facebook and boom! You’re on Spotify! The app opens to a page where you can choose your favorite music artists, and explore new, similar ones too.
