Shaan-e-Pakistan announced the second edition of the Shaan-e-Pakistan Music Achievements Awards (SEPMA) will go online due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

The digital event, led by Huma Nassr, will be both national and international by bringing together musicians of all genres, providing them with opportunities to be heard on a global scale.

SEPMA is a culmination of various performances that will portray the essence of the Pakistani music scene from July to September 2020.

The show aims to do the same as its previous year, bringing together the Pakistan music fraternity, while celebrating singers and musicians from part of the world. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will continue as planned but will be hosted digitally for the foreseeable future.

Huma Nassr, the brainchild of SEPMA voiced her concerns with the current world situation in mind.  She stated, “A major concern for my team and I was the safety and responsibility that comes with initiating the process of the show in these COVID times; hence our decision to take it all online.”
