She first came to the public's attention as a member of the musical duo Zeb and Haniya along with her cousin Zebunnisa Bangash in 2007. In 2014 she left the group and moved to Canada for studies, and pursued a solo music career in Canada.[1][2]
Later, she returned to Pakistan, becoming a successful musician, producer, engineer and composer, including for some of the country's leading music shows, such as Coke Studio.[3]
