Pakistani radio host, television presenter and professional emcee Sophiya Anjam is marking 20 years in media, celebrating a career that began with FM91 in Pakistan and has since expanded across radio, television, live events, digital media and education.
Anjam made her radio debut on 13 December 2006 with FM91, entering Pakistan’s emerging private FM landscape at a time when a new generation of female radio personalities was helping reshape the medium. Over two decades, she has built a career spanning broadcasting and live entertainment, becoming a familiar host at major entertainment platforms and serving as the official host of Soul Fest.
Her career has also included hosting events featuring personalities including Atif Aslam, Ranveer Singh, Fawad Khan and Hania Aamir, as well as engagements with leading brands and organisations. Her professional work has taken her across Pakistan, the UAE, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Spain, Italy and the United States.
In September 2023, Anjam relocated to Dubai, taking an established career in Pakistan into a new international phase. She returned to radio in the UAE with Vibe FM 105.4 in October 2024, continuing to connect with Pakistani and multicultural audiences. She currently serves as the only Pakistani RJ on radio in Dubai.
The milestone follows a year of further recognition. Anjam was named Best Emcee of the Year in April 2026 and RJ of the Year in August 2026, adding to previous honours including recognition from Governor House Punjab in 2021, the Gulf News and Being She Excellence in Media Award, and the United Nations Global Peace Council’s Media Person of the Year award. She has also been granted a UAE Golden Visa in recognition of her professional contributions to media and entertainment.
Beyond broadcasting, Anjam has expanded into education and mentorship. She has taught Media and Public Speaking at LUMS and serves as the Official Podcaster for Manipal University Dubai. She is also the founder of The S Studio, where she is developing work in media education, mentoring and creator development.
Reflecting on the milestone, Anjam said, “When I started radio in Pakistan in 2006, I could never have imagined where that first step would take me. To now be working across radio, television, events and digital platforms internationally makes this milestone particularly meaningful.”
As she enters her third decade in media, Anjam says her focus is increasingly on developing emerging talent and sharing the experience gained across two decades in a rapidly changing industry.
