Life and career

Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija was born in Zapopan, Jalisco, to Hassan Kabande and Rubí Laija on 15 June 1999. The relatives of his mother were residents of Badiraguato, Sinaloa. Both parents were born in Mexico; his father was born in Chiapas and is of Palestinian Christian descent, his ancestors emigrating from Bethlehem in the early 1900s. Growing up in Guadalajara, he began playing the guitar at age 15 by watching videos on YouTube. Kabande started writing songs in a diary, admitting to being ridiculed by peers. Describing his initial approach to songwriting, he explained how writing became his therapy: "That’s where I’d write how I was feeling, then I realized some stuff would rhyme. I kept practicing and became better with time."

2020–2021: Career beginnings

After years of writing music together, Kabande worked with his cousin, fellow singer and songwriter, Roberto "Tito" Laija Garcia, also known as Tito Double P, on releasing two live albums, Disco×Disco12 April 2023 · Album · LiveSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 10 tracks1Jeraqui de Nivel3:042Relajado Voy3:003El AK3:144Yo Ando Agusto2:395Fuentes de Ortiz3:396La Belikiada3:007Un Suspiro2:408Tus Lindos Versos2:369Producto de La3:4210Playera 772:40 en Vivo on 21 February 2020 and Disco en Vivo, Vol. 2 on 4 July.

In April 2020, he released his debut studio album, Ah y Qué? featuring twelve songs and collaborations with El Choforo, Lalo Reyes, and Jorge Morales El Jilguero. Kabande published his live recording with Decreto Real of "Relajado Voy" to streaming platforms on 7 October as his first single release. He followed up with the singles "Mil Historias" with Hector Rubio on 13 November and "El Petter" with Decreto Real on 4 December before deciding to work on a new body of work.
Kabande published his second studio album, Efectos Secundarios×Efectos secundarios19 March 2021 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 8 tracks1Lo que me das2:592La encontré4:553No está fácil2:464Entre humo y huesos2:455Mil historias3:336Con dinero baila el perro3:457Y qué?1:508Les cuesta3:26, on 19 March 2021, preceded by the singles "Con Dinero Baila el Perro" and "Lo Que Me Das", a music video for the latter, as well as songs with previous collaborators El Choforo and Hector Rubio. Focusing on building his sound, Kabande issued the single "Por Las Noches×Por las Noches11 June 2021 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Por las Noches3:59" on 11 June, a slowed-down sierreño track about an unintended breakup. Kabande's "Todo Es Playa", a song about smoking marijuana, was his last single with El Cartel de los Ángeles before he switched labels to Prajin Records under George Prajin. To mark this shift, the singer published the socio-political track "Spiral" on 25 November.

2022: Breakthrough

On 4 February 2022, Kabande teamed up with Raul Vega on the single "El Belicón", a corrido anthem on the local narcoculture. Working on-hand with the song's production, Kabande and Vega played the roles of members of a drug cartel for the song's music video directed by Barush, instantly going viral among locals. The track gained momentum after its usage in TikTok and Instagram, with its music video racking 10 million views on YouTube in one month and gaining a lot of playlisting on Spotify. In April, "El Belicón" debuted at number 50 on Billboard Hot Latin Songs, peaking at number 46 two weeks after and becoming Kabande's first entry on the charts.
Kabande released Sembrando, an extended play containing "Signal" with five new songs, on 20 April in celebration of his fans and the recreational holiday. A six-part thematic and fictional story, the singer explained how the EP was recorded simultaneously, with themes "specifically for that day (420)". Upon its release, the EP was credited on solidifying the singer's contribution on the rise of corridos tumbados, a fusion of regional Mexican elements with trap music. He teamed up with Tornillos and Polo Gonzales on the song "Sentosa" for the Latin American esports division of Garena Free Fire. On 3 June, the singer published "30 Tiros", an acoustic corrido about his success story, along with an accompanying music video directed by Barush surrounded by women and luxuries.
The singer collaborated with Luis R. Conriquez on the song "Siempre Pendientes×Siempre Pendientes15 August 2022 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Siempre Pendientes3:07" released on 15 August. The track immediately attracted controversy among news outlets for glorifying labour for drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, containing the lyrics "JGL, traigo en las cachas orgullosamente" and "Cuido la plaza del señor Guzmán". A music video directed by Cesar Acosta starring Kabande and Conriquez holding rifles in the desert supported by a large crew was uploaded to YouTube upon its release, receiving two million views in its first 24 hours and being removed from the platform three days later due to public outrage. On 1 October, Kabande sang the song live onstage at the 8 Music Fest in Culiacán, serving as a replacement act for Junior H after his sudden cancelation from the event. In celebration of the city's 491st anniversary, an image of El Chapo was projected on screen for the entirety of his performance, attaining backlash from the audiences, organisers, the city council, and netizens for allegations of promoting drug trafficking. El Colectivo de Mujeres Activas Sinaloenses, A.C. (CMAS AC) publicly denounced the act, claiming how the performance went against the goal of the festivities to mark "the beginning of the end of drug culture in Culiacán". On the association's official Twitter account, they claimed accountability from municipal president Juan de Dios Gámez to apply sanctions on the singer "to guarantee non-repetition", attaching an excerpt of Article 254 of the Penal Code for the State of Sinaloa and indicating the application of up to two years in prison for the accusation. In defence, the city council declared that while it disapproved of the projection of the drug leader's image, the municipal authority was "in favour of the freedom of expression of all artists", also considering how the singer was a last-minute addition. Kabande's songs have also led to threats from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a rival to the Sinaloa Cartel.
In retrospect of the incident, Kabande defended himself in a 2023 interview with Pepe Garza on YouTube: "They tried to smear me there, but [it's] nothing that cannot be fixed. I kept going forward with my career." He denied rumours of actual connections to the cartel, clarifying, "I am an artist, and we do nothing more than appear on stage and sing what we write." The incident gave attention to the rise of the genre narcocorrido, which comprises ballads dedicated to themes of marijuana and the illegal drug trade. "Siempre Pendientes" peaked at No. 27 in Hot Latin Songs, 155 on the Global Excl. U.S., and No. 174 on the Global 200, becoming Kabande's first global hit in the Billboard charts. The track was the artist's first entry in Mexico Songs, debuting at No. 9 on the week dated 3 September and charting for 20 weeks. Kabande announced "El Gavilán" as his next single due on 21 October, working with Tony Aguirre and becoming his second collaboration with Conriquez. The song rose to No. 41 in Hot Latin Songs by the end of the year. On 18 November, he released "Ando Enfocado" with Jaziel Aviles and Codiciado.
Natanael Cano and Gabito Ballesteros co-released "AMG" with the singer on 24 November, marking the highly anticipated first collaboration of Cano and Kabande as forefront figures in the subgenre of corridos tumbados. Written by Tito about the path to success and named after the Mercedes-AMG G 63, a music video was uploaded on Cano's YouTube channel featuring the trio partying in the Mexican city nightlife, splicing in between footage of Mexican brass players. "AMG" debuted at No. 25 on Mexico Songs on 17 December. The singer partnered with Alemán on "Delivery" on 9 December, setting an experimental shift in his sound with the prominence of hip-hop beats. On 30 December, American regional Mexican band Fuerza Regida released their album Pa Que Hablen (2022), containing the track "Igualito a Mi Apá" with Kabande.

2023: Mainstream success and Génesis

"AMG" climbed to No. 10 in Mexico Songs on the chart dated 14 January 2023 as the singer's first top-ten hit. The song rose to No. 3 in the following week after receiving placements on major playlists on Spotify, the premiere of the "Igualito a Mi Apá" music video directed by Miguel, and the announcement of a new collaboration between Kabande and Cano titled "PRC". With 5.8 million US streams, "AMG" debuted at No. 92 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart ending on 4 February, marking as the singer's first Hot 100 entry. "AMG" ascended to No. 10 on Hot Latin Songs and surged to number one on the Mexico Songs chart dated 25 February, becoming his first chart-topper. On 20 January, he began his nationwide tour for the year at the Camara Sonora in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He concluded the Mexican tour on 26 April to a sold-out audience at the Palenque ExpoGan in Hermosillo, Sonora.
Released on 23 January, "PRC" (short for polvo, ruedas y cristal) was written about the daily life of a gangster. The music video starred Cano and Kabande as dealers on the job, standing as the first music video uploaded directly on Kabande's official YouTube channel and gaining 10 million views in its first week of publication. Varied versions of the track's first line (Me levanto, un baño y luego me pongo a forjar) went viral on TikTok, along with a dance craze originally performed by Kabande in the music video, stirring controversy for being re-enacted by children and its implications. "PRC" served as Kabande's second Hot 100 hit on 18 February.
Kabande and Junior H co-released "El Azul×El Azul10 February 2023 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1El Azul3:07" on 10 February, accompanied by a live performance video directed by Johnny Ragr.

After creating speculations on Nicole's breakup with rapper Trueno with the line "Todo lo que yo te di y todo lo que me diste, fue para nada", the remix fuelled the original version of the song's resurgence on the charts, appearing on the Hot 100 dated 25 March.

Kabande's concert stop in León, Guanajuato on 11 March was postponed to 30 March after the organisers of his concert encountered issues with the logistics and local permit. The mishap created buzz for possibly being controlled by the authorities considering the singer's activism on narcoculture and his immense appeal among the city with the highest number of adolescents in Mexico living in poverty.
"Ella Baila Sola×Ella baila sola16 March 2023 · SingleSpotifyYouTube MusicTracklist · 1 track1Ella baila sola2:45", a track performed by Kabande with the American group Eslabón Armado as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Desvelado, was officially released to streaming services on 16 March after initially premiering on TikTok.

During the same period, the singer monopolized the top six of the Mexico Songs chart and placed five songs in the top ten of Hot Latin Songs chart, with "Ella Baila Sola" in the lead for both. On 17 April, Billboard announced that with their jump from 17 to 10, Kabande and Armado made history with "Ella Baila Sola" as the first regional Mexican top-ten song in the 64-year history of the Billboard Hot 100.

To promote the song, Kabande was invited to perform at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on 29 April as the first regional Mexican performance ever on the show. The event was met with polarizing responses; while fans and Mexican audiences commended the rare achievement as the representation of regional Mexican music to a wider scope, critics questioned the absence of Eslabón Armado from the monumental feat and the possible romanticization of narcoculture. On 1 May, "Ella Baila Sola" peaked at No. 4 in the Hot 100. "AMG" became 7× Platinum with 420,000 units tracked by the RIAA as "El Azul" received 2× Platinum status.

On 22 August, he was featured on the track "Dos Días" by Tito Double P, from his debut album Incómodo (2024).

Another track from Éxodo, "La Patrulla" with fellow Mexican singer-songwriter Netón Vega, and its music video, was released as its tenth single on 5 September 2024. In the wake of Hurricane Milton, Kabande cancelled his scheduled final two concert dates for the Éxodo Tour, 16 October at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, and 17 October at Kaseya Center in Miami, with the tour concluding on 13 October in First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro.

On 7 November, he appeared on Double P Records signee Jasiel Nuñez's second studio album La Odisea (2024), appearing on the songs "California Sunset", "Amiri" alongside Tito Double P, and "En Mi Mundo", also he took part in Netón Vega album Mi Vida Mi Muerte with a duet named "Morena".
Peso Pluma closed out 2025 by formalising his long-running creative partnership with his cousin Tito Double P on their first joint studio album, Dinastía×DINASTÍA26 December 2025 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 15 tracks1intro2:592dopamina3:053ni pedo3:074putielegante2:4057-33:096billete2:397daño3:178trucha3:109morras II2:1310mezcal2:5611malibu2:461220s2:5113viejo lobo2:5114tu con el2:4515bckpckbyz3:43, released on 25 December 2025 through Double P Records. The collaboration was framed in press materials as a "family lineage" project that reunited the pair after Tito's early work as a songwriter within Peso Pluma's camp and later emergence as a solo artist on the Double P imprint, turning their familial relationship into an explicit artistic narrative about continuity and unity within música mexicana. The rollout began with teases and the release of "Intro" ahead of the album announcement, with Remezcla highlighting the project’s cinematic reveal (including luchador imagery) and positioning Dinastía as a statement release during an increasingly contested period for corridos' public reception.
In describing the album's production approach, Peso Pluma told Apple Music that the duo expanded the arrangement palette with additional instrumentation and new backing vocalists, including singers associated with Kanye West's Sunday Service Choir, leaning into sweeping, choral textures across parts of the project. Commercially, Dinastía debuted at No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 (dated 10 January 2026), becoming Tito Double P's first top-ten entry and extending Peso Pluma's run of high-charting releases. The album also opened at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, reflecting strong first-week demand in the US Latin market. Its tracks translated quickly into multi-territory single performance: "Dopamina" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 (Billboard charts reporting it as a new entry), while in Mexico it reached No. 1 on Billboard's Mexico Songs chart (dated 17 January 2026). In the United States, "Dopamina" also rose to a peak of No. 2 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and reached No. 1 on the Hot Regional Mexican Songs chart, signalling crossover traction beyond the album format and reinforcing the duo's position at the centre of the contemporary corridos-driven streaming economy.

Artistry

The singer recalled, "I've always listened to reggaeton, hip-hop, and rap, but I realized that my voice was made to sing corridos because I would hear them played around family all the time. My voice shined differently there than in any other genre."
Kabande considered the late young Mexican singers Ariel Camacho and Valentín Elizalde as his primary influences for his sound, interpreting their songs at an early age. An avid listener of hip-hop music, he enlisted Canadian rapper Drake as his favourite artist, citing him as a reflection of growing up across borders. He has also referenced the Weeknd, 21 Savage, Post Malone, Suicideboys, and Shoreline Mafia as musical influences.
After becoming the top streamed artist in Mexico, several media outlets have compared the success of the singer with Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. In spite of this, Kabande has repeatedly acknowledged Bunny as a musical inspiration, conversing privately with the rapper while waiting for the set of Rosalía during Coachella 2023: "There are really only good things to say about him, and I have a lot of admiration and respect for him." Bunny posted to his Instagram Stories a video of himself and Kendall Jenner singing along to "AMG", officially debunking the rumoured conflict publicly.
In 2025, Kabande became the first Mexican ambassador of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for New York Fashion Week. He made his official debut at the CFDA cocktail event at Rockefeller Center, wearing a design by Willy Chavarría with styling by Anastasia Walker.

Personal life

According to a report by El Gordo y la Flaca on 12 May 2023, Kabande purchased a 174 m2 apartment in the Andares district of Puerta de Hierro, Zapopan, for approximately MXN$14,400,000 (US$800,000), which serves as his official residence. He has expressed an interest in football; in his youth he played for the junior teams of C.D. Guadalajara, although he is a supporter of their city rivals, Atlas F.C.

Relationships

In July 2023, rumours circulated online that Kabande was dating Argentine singer Nicki Nicole. Nicole initially denied the speculation, stating that they were only friends, but later confirmed their relationship in November of that year. In February 2024, after the circulation of a video showing Kabande with another woman in Las Vegas, Nicole announced the end of their relationship.
In August 2024, Kabande confirmed that he was in a relationship with US influencer Hanna Howell, who had hinted at the romance in social media posts the previous month. In September, Howell announced their breakup, stating that Kabande had returned all of her belongings except for her pet dog.
In January 2025, speculation arose that Kabande was romantically involved with Mexican singer Kenia OS. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in April 2025 during the Coachella festival. On 6 June 2026, Kabande announced on his Instagram that he and Kenia had mutually ended their relationship, stating that they ended on good terms.
