Hasan Raheem, the melodic maestro weaving soulful tales through his subtle, laid-back R&B, hip hop, and indie pop tunes, was born in 1997 into the vibrant cultural tapestry of Pakistan. Hailing from a Shina family in Gilgit, nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Gilgit-Baltistan, Raheem’s journey into music was as organic as the mountain streams that wind through his homeland.
From a young age, Raheem danced to the rhythm of his rebel heart, finding solace and expression in music. His first taste of the spotlight came in fifth grade, igniting a passion that would shape his destiny. Despite initially pursuing a career in medicine, graduating from Bahria University Medical and Dental College in Karachi, Raheem’s heart beat to a different tempo—one of melodies and lyrics waiting to be unleashed.
In 2018, amidst the rigors of medical school, Raheem began his musical odyssey, crafting soul-stirring singles infused with the essence of his experiences. Tracks like “Aisay Kaisay” and “Sar Phira” resonated deeply with audiences, propelling him to the forefront of the Pakistani music scene.
Raheem’s breakthrough came in 2020 when he clinched the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award at the Pakistan International Screen Awards. His Coke Studio debut in 2022 marked another milestone, enchanting listeners with the infectious rhythm of “Peechay Hutt,” a collaboration with Talal Qureshi and the Justin Bibis.
With a voice as smooth as silk and lyrics that speak to the soul, Raheem’s music transcends boundaries, blending the modern with the traditional. Whether crooning in Shina or seamlessly fusing genres, his music is a testament to the power of simplicity and authenticity—a melody that echoes through hearts and minds alike.
