MANCHESTER: British Pakistani singer Nasa Munir has been carving out a name for himself in the local music industry.

Nasa whose parents are immigrants from Rawalpindi gained recognition after working on songs Club Scene with Rishi and I need a girl with GV. He ventured on a solo career with three releases Mahi, Saye and Manwa Re which helped him gain a fan base in the Brit-Asian music scene.

The artist now aims to become a household name after the release of his latest single and music video Without You.

“Without You is a track which is very close to my heart and it takes me back to some golden memories,” Nasa Munir told Geo News. Expressing his passion for music, Nasa said: “I want to bring communities together with the power of music.”

Nasa in a message to young artists said they should continue working hard and be sure that they want to work in the music industry. “Be true to your emotions and do what you feel is right as that is the only way to create music with mood and feel.”

Nasa grew up in the suburbs of Birmingham and has roots in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. He started singing at a very young age and was heavily influenced by artists like Rafi and Kishore and still sings some of their old school hits.
