Hasan Raheem (حسن رحیم; born August 2, 1997) is a Pakistani singer, songwriter and rapper. He is known for his subtle, laid-back R&B, hip hop and indie pop styles of music.

## Early life and education

Raheem was born in 1997. He belongs to a Shina family hailing from Gilgit, located in northern Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region. He is the eldest of four siblings, born to a father who served in the Pakistan Army and a mother who is a housewife. Raheem describes himself as a "rebel" child while growing up, who had a taste for music. His first ever on-stage performance was in his fifth grade of school, when he performed a popular dance track by British-Indian musical group RDB.
Raheem moved to Karachi to pursue a career in medicine, graduating from the Bahria Medical and Dental College.

## Career

Raheem started writing, recording and releasing singles in 2018 while still in medical school. He began weaving melodies and lyrics together using his semi-acoustic guitar.
His first taste to success came with his single "Aisay Kaisay" which was released in January 2020. The song made him the flagbearer in Pakistan's indie music scene.
His tracks such as "Joona", "Aarzu", "Sar Phira" and "Sun Le Na" garnered millions of hits on YouTube and he quickly began to be noticed in the Pakistani music scene. In his early days, he collaborated with the Young Stunners.
In 2020, Raheem won the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award for music at the 1st Pakistan International Screen Awards in Dubai.
He made his Coke Studio debut in season 14 in 2022, where he featured in a dance track titled "Peechay Hutt" in collaboration with Talal Qureshi and the Justin Bibis.
He released his first album "Nautanki" in December 2022. The album was well received by his fans.

The album was produced by Umair and Shahrukh. "Wishes" featuring Talwiinder became a massive hit in Pakistan, India and several other countries.
On June 21, 2024 Raheem was featured on Indian EDM artist and singer Ritviz's single "Mehrbaan".

## Artistry

Raheem's music is mainly R&B, hip hop and indie pop, with influences of soul. He has a free-flowing experimental approach to music with a "soft, mumbling rap-verse style" voice, and his lyrical style has been characterised for its simplicity; according to Raheem, he likes to pour his feelings into his music and prefers to "keep it as simple as possible so that anyone who listens to my songs can connect with them". He is also known for infusing "Gilgiti-inspired dance moves" in his music videos and occasionally incorporates lyrics in his native language, Shina, into his songs.
