Moving around made his musical journey challenging and fulfilling at the same time.

Multi-faceted rapper Sufian decided to start over and go to Germany to live with his family.

It was an arduous journey for rapper-producer Sufian. Born in Iraq in 1992, he left his home country in 1994 to live in Libya and started singing rap in a Libyan dialect in 2014. Afterwhich, he left Libya to live in Sweden and started singing in his native dialect.

"I learned to make melodies, learned visual and audio production, and learned designs," says the rapper. His career took a brand new start in 2020. Now he has a newfound passion for producing songs and melodies for several singers, including Didan Kalash, an Algerian artist.

"Of course, I faced some challenges. I produce everything myself, from melody to writing to engineering to editing, and this year I hope to make more music and get my voice to the place I want." His journey took a hit when his YouTube channel of 50,000 subscribers got hacked. "I do not have copies of my works or video clips from 2016. They were all deleted," he says with disappointment. 

Persistence drew the best out of him. Fast forward to today, he has worked with ambitious projects such as 'Hustle' and 'Anto Ween.' After the successful release of 'Hustle,' Sufian decided to release 'Anto Ween' in the same style and color.

Currently, he is venturing into entrepreneurship with his company MC Production, a boutique music and video production house. "It is still a small business/studio in progress. I am excited for great things coming out from this endeavor."

"I have a track called 'ICE' that is due for release at the end of June 2022," he proudly shared.
