Summary

Pakistani-Muslim singer, songwriter & producer REHMA bridges global pop, R&B, and South Asian influences into a bold new sound she calls “desifuturist”. Following her breakout Coke Studio performance of “HARKALAY,” which earned 12M+ views, she appeared on billboards across Pakistan and quickly emerged at the forefront of a global diasporic moment. The Chicago-born-and-raised artist has earned coverage from BBC, NPR, and Rolling Stone India, alongside the cover of Spotify’s EQUAL playlist, a top placement on Best of Fresh Finds 2025 & co-signs from industry heavyweights including Savan Kotecha, Sid Sriram, Raveena & more. Her latest singles “MONSOON” and “DEVOTION,” which have collectively earned 10M+ views across socials, preview a project rooted in brown femme freedom, political identity, and power. Most recently, her collaboration "SAY MY NAME" with Jai Wolf has sparked a wave of live momentum, drawing over 4,000 attendees in both NYC & LA for sold-out shows premiering the track. REHMA gearing up for the launch of her debut mixtape ANOMALY, curating a cohort of fellow desi superheroes to join her in catapulting a new global sound.
