Dubai is where her Indian, Arab, and North African fanbases converge, giving her a unique emotional foothold.
“Every time I step foot into Dubai… I always get to feel my fans personally and understand how much they support me… despite different backgrounds, cultures, language, religion, they come to support me and my art. And I’m very grateful.”
From Toronto to Qatar to the World
Fatehi’s love for South Asian culture started not in Mumbai but in a Toronto school classroom.
“It definitely all began when I was very young in Toronto… we used to celebrate South Asian month… we would wear the beautiful lehengas and saris and celebrate Diwali. So I was very much exposed to it at a very young age.”
Her multicultural identity now shapes her pan-global appeal — from Bollywood songs that outperform Taylor Swift online on YouTube, to a FIFA World Cup performance viewed by millions.
“I performed at the closing ceremony in Qatar for the last historic game between Argentina and France, and it was life changing for me, right?”
But she refuses to frame these milestones as destiny. They are the outcome of grind.
“I’m not trained in anything,” she admitted. “But I put in the hours, I put in the passion, I put in the intention, and that’s what you actually saw that day.”
Headlining Untold Festival — and dropping a new era
Now Fatehi is set to headline Dubai’s Untold Festival on November 7 — and she isn’t just performing. She’s debuting a new chapter.
“Untold this year has me and a bunch of amazing global DJs. I’m headlining November 7, so get your tickets, guys. I would love to see you on stage. I have two massive surprises during my performance, which I think you guys are gonna love… I’m also launching my new song on stage at the Untold Festival in Dubai, exclusively.”
