Razzak Noorani

Razzak Noorani wasn’t born into a music scene—he built one. With no EDM icons from his country to look up to, no festival culture to follow, he still dared to dream of festival stages. He played to empty rooms, pretending they were packed. He wasn’t waiting for an audience. He was preparing for one. Then it happened. Tiësto played one of his mashups. Martin Garrix and Alesso followed. His remix of Americano exploded past 10 million views. A kid with no industry backing was suddenly being heard around the world. While studying Biomedical Ethics and Political Science at U of T, Razzak was selling out shows, opening for international artists, and touring with Tomorrowland’s Henri PFR. In December, he performed for 4,000 people in Karachi, closing for one of Pakistan’s biggest stars, Hasan Raheem. The dream? To become the first Pakistani DJ to headline Tomorrowland. But it’s not just a dream anymore. It’s a movement. Follow the journey now—because when he’s standing on that mainstage… you’ll want to say you were here first.
