Hailing originally from Pakistan, 780.MASOCHIST is a groundbreaking Canadian hip-hop artist who etched his name in history as the first Pakistani participant at the 2019 Canoe World Championships. Despite later growing up in a commuter belt setting, his upbringing provided a unique blend of interactions with scholars, drug dealers, and pro athletes, shaping a versatile understanding of people. At 19, a tragic event and near-death experiences prompted him to seize opportunities, altering the trajectory of his life.
Driven by a passion for diverse hip-hop styles, including R&B, Boom Bap, and Nu-Metal, 780.MASOCHIST consistently produces powerful compositions that defy expectations. Influenced by AP Dhillon, Nelly Furtado, and XXXTENTACION, he secured an endorsement from South Florida legend DJ Epps. Following a one-year hiatus, he is set to release collaborations with industry heavyweights like Rick Ross, Eem Triplin, and Hoodrixh.
Beyond the music, 780.MASOCHIST is driven to bring a touch of humanity back into music. Using his influence, he hopes to support programs that benefit black and brown communities. His socially aware music delves into issues like conflict in Pakistan, blending aesthetic appeal with thought-provoking commentary. With a dedicated Spotify following and nods from respected blogs, he's leaving a lasting mark in the music scene.
