Since PTV’s announcement in 2011 that Nadeem was the best live singer in the nation, he has gone on to become a well-known figure in the music industry. Despite being the youngest contender in the category, he was considered the best singer in the country. He was therefore nominated for the Presidential Award for Pride of Performance in 2007 as the best singer in the country. The contributions that Nadeem has made to the music industry, as well as the efforts that he has made to spread different kinds of music all over the world, notably Sufi music, have earned him several honors that have been bestowed upon him.
