Eva B Biography

Eva B is a Pakistani rapper from Lyari, Karachi, known for her breakout appearances on Pakistan’s music scene including Coke Studio (2022). Performing as a

Early life and background

Eva B grew up in Lyari, a neighbourhood of Karachi, Pakistan. Born into a family from Pakistan’s Baloch minority, she spent her childhood in an environment she has described as difficult and shaped by violence and social constraints. Her parents separated when she was young, and she faced teasing and fights at school because of her family circumstances.

She attended Al-Qadir Model English School in Lyari and later enrolled at Government College for Women in Karachi. As of 2022 she was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts. Music reached her in adolescence via a second-hand computer that introduced her to hip-hop and Eminem, which inspired her to try writing and performing rap.

Career

Eva B began exploring rap in 2014, learning basics online and practicing freestyle. Early resistance at home, particularly from her brother, made it difficult to pursue music openly. For a time she stepped away from performing, but returned to the scene in 2019 when the Pakistani streaming platform Patari invited her to write and record a song.

Her first official release, "Gully Girls" (2019), was recorded on a mobile phone due to limited access to equipment and was produced by Sunny Khan Durrani and Zari Faisal. The track drew attention for challenging gender expectations and drew on the spirit of the film Gully Boy. That year she also performed a collaboration with Momina Mustehsan at the Lux Style Awards.

Between 2020 and 2022 she released several independently issued tracks, including "Quarantine Baji" (2020), "Qalam Bolega" (2020), "Turond’e Gap" (2021) and "Tera Jism Meri Marzi" (2021). She worked with fellow artists too, featuring with Mudassar Qureshi on his songs "Kehndi" (2020) and "Siyasi" (2021).

Eva B was signed to the Pakistani label No Limit Muzik as of 2022, which released her songs "Mukhtasir Baatein" (2021), "Bayani Rog" (2022) and "Khushnawees" (2022).

Her national profile rose substantially after appearing on Coke Studio season 14 (2022), where she contributed rap parts to the song "Kana Yaari" alongside vocalist Kaifi Khalil and tambura player Wahab Ali Bugti. That performance introduced her to a broader audience and is widely credited with bringing her mainstream recognition.

Public profile

Eva B performs using a stage name that references Eve and signals her identity as a woman rapper; the letter "B" points to her Baloch heritage. For safety and privacy early in her career she used a pseudonym and sometimes concealed her activities from family. Over time she adopted the hijab as a visible part of her public identity and performance. She has said the hijab is both culturally familiar to her community and a part of how she feels comfortable performing.

Her choice to rap while wearing a hijab drew criticism from some conservative quarters, but she has defended wearing it as consistent with her background and personal comfort. Eva B has also shared that a tattoo on her right hand honors her mother.

Throughout her work she has addressed social restrictions on girls and women in Lyari and elsewhere, turning experiences of discrimination into lyrical material. She cites artists such as Eminem and contemporary singers as influences, and has expressed admiration for poets like Saadat Hasan Manto and Jaun Elia.

Family and personal details

Eva B has a younger brother and a sister, Uneek B. Her family’s early opposition to her music influenced the way she managed her career and public identity. She is known to keep a pet cat named Simba.

Her recent releases listed by that label include "Bayani Rog" and "Khushnawees."
