Waleed Naeem: Building a 1,200+ Track Independent Music Catalogue Alongside Software Products

5 Min Read

In a digital world where many creators chase short-term trends, Waleed Naeem has built his career around a different strategy: consistent output, asset ownership, and structured systems. Based in Pakistan, Waleed’s work spans original music production, software product development, and analytical education through chess coaching — a mix that reflects long-term discipline rather than quick wins.

Rather than positioning himself inside one narrow industry, Waleed has focused on building across multiple domains, connected by one core principle: scale comes from repeatable systems. His growing catalogue of original music, combined with his work in technology, shows how creative and technical worlds can reinforce each other when driven by structure and consistency.

Foundations in structured music education

Waleed’s foundation began with formal music training. With classical piano education up to ABRSM Grade 6, his early years were shaped by structured practice, technical precision, and an emphasis on repetition — habits that later became central to his creative workflow.
Over time, he transitioned from performance into original composition and music production.

Building a large-scale independent music catalogue

Today, Waleed has produced a catalogue of 1,200+ original musical works, spanning instrumental and vocal compositions. The size of this library places his work among the most prolific independent catalogues created by a solo artist in the region, built outside the traditional label system.

Instead of following the typical “release an album and disappear” cycle, Waleed’s approach emphasizes consistent creation over sporadic bursts. His music is distributed primarily through digital platforms, allowing it to reach a global audience through long-term discovery rather than one-time peaks.

Across YouTube and YouTube Music, his work attracts millions of listeners through cumulative reach — not driven by a single viral moment, but by steady output over time. His focus, however, is not on internet trends. He treats his catalogue as a long-term asset: music that compounds in value as the library grows.

Expanding into software systems and product development

Alongside music, Waleed has built a presence in software systems and product development. He is the founder of Ataraxy Developers, a company focused on building web platforms and SaaS products with an emphasis on scalability, automation, and maintainability.

Through this work, he has developed and launched multiple platforms and digital products, including Mabrouk.pk, Klantra.com, and MeetQuickly.com, as well as additional private systems. These projects span different use cases — from service-oriented products to productivity-driven tools — reflecting an approach that treats software as long-term infrastructure rather than short experiments.

Waleed has also built and released 50+ Android applications, distributed through the Google Play ecosystem. Instead of measuring success only by a single product’s performance, his strategy has been iterative: launch, observe real-user outcomes, refine, and improve systems over time.

That method mirrors his philosophy in music: consistent output, real-world testing, and long-horizon thinking.

Chess coaching and structured decision-making

Waleed is also active as a chess coach — an area that might appear unrelated at first, but connects closely to his overall approach. Chess, in his view, is a training ground for structured thinking: planning under constraints, decision-making, and pattern recognition. His coaching focuses on long-term improvement rather than short-term tactics, emphasizing clarity and disciplined reasoning.

Those same skills carry into both his music and software work — whether it’s composing in volume, building scalable platforms, or designing repeatable workflows.

Scaling output through systems and automation

Producing more than a thousand original works while running multiple technology projects requires operational discipline. Waleed’s output has been driven not by heavy reliance on large teams, but by personal systems, automation, and repeatable workflows that allow him to scale without losing control over execution.

In a time when visibility is often confused with impact, his work stands out for measurable depth: original production sustained over years, combined with platform-building in the software space.

Long-term focus in a growing creator economy

Waleed continues to operate with a production-first mindset. His focus remains on expanding his music catalogue, improving his software products, and refining the systems that enable consistent output.

As Pakistan’s creator economy grows and digital distribution continues to remove barriers, his journey reflects a broader shift: individuals can now build global audiences and long-term assets through discipline, ownership, and structured execution — without relying on traditional gatekeepers.
