Her versatility as an artist shines through as she fearlessly explores diverse genres, ranging from the enchanting tunes of Pahari Folk to the mesmerizing melodies of Urdu Gazals, Qawali, Punjabi, Gojri, and Kashmiri songs.

Her performances in cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Neelam Valley, and Muzaffarabad have left audiences in awe, with thunderous applause accompanying her every note.

For Masrat Naz, music is more than mere entertainment, it is a language that speaks directly to the soul.

She believes that music has the remarkable power to evoke calmness during stressful times and unleash suppressed emotions, acting as a bridge between cultural heritages and erasing borders that separate humanity.

“Music is a means of self-expression that can touch the hearts of people worldwide,” Masrat emphasized.

Her unwavering dedication to her craft and her commitment to preserving and reviving the cultural heritage of Kashmir have made her a role model for many.
