Kinza Hashmi (born 5 September 1992)[1] is a Pakistani singer-songwriter. She rose to prominence as a co-singer and writer in Farhan Saeed's single "Pee Jaun",[2] and recorded her first studio song "Sajna" for Junoon's album Junoon 20.[3] Mustehsan's claim to fame came later,[4] when in 2016 she marked her Coke Studio debut as a featured artist in season 9,[5][6] where she performed a rendition of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Afreen Afreen", with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and received critical appraisal. Following her debut, she became one of the most sought-out media personalities in Pakistan,[2][7] and the song became one of the most viewed songs of Coke Studio.
