Before he ever picked up a mic, Nabi Awada had already done the impossible. A survivor of war and displacement, he built a company from scratch and scaled it to a staggering $100 million valuation—with no investors, no shortcuts, and no safety net. That alone would be enough for most people. But for Awada, success wasn’t the finish line—it was the foundation.
Now, he’s stepping into the music world not as a hopeful artist looking for a break—but as a force of nature with a blueprint, a mission, and a sound that refuses to be ignored.
His debut single Run It Up has already crossed one million streams in under a month—without paid promo, without a label push, without even an industry co-sign. Just raw energy, cinematic production, and razor-sharp bars that hit with the weight of lived experience.
This isn’t a vanity project. This is strategy meeting soul.
From Bomb Shelters to Boardrooms
Raised in Beirut, Lebanon, Nabi’s childhood wasn’t just tough—it was war-torn. One memory still echoes in everything he does: hiding under his mother’s body as bombs shook the ground near their home.
“That moment shaped everything,” he says. “I wasn’t supposed to be here. Statistically, I should’ve been swallowed by the system. But that chaos lit a fire in me. I knew if I ever got a shot—I’d take it all the way.”
And he did. Through sheer discipline and vision, Nabi built a company that pulled his entire family out of poverty. Not through luck. Through obsession.
“I’ve already saved myself. Now, I rap because I have something to say.”
Soundtrack of a Survivor
Awada’s music is a blend of trap, hip-hop, melodic rap, and conscious storytelling—equal parts club-ready and soul-cutting. His sound is cinematic, his lyrics surgical. There’s no character, no gimmick. It’s him.
He doesn’t rap about trauma for likes. He turns it into architecture—melody, cadence, and narrative structure fused into something that hits hard but heals deeper.
“Hip-hop gave me the language to turn pain into power,” he says. “This isn’t just music. It’s therapy. It’s a movement. It’s a legacy in real time.”
No Label? No Problem. For Now.
What makes Nabi’s rise even more striking is how intentional it’s been. Run It Up hit seven figures in streams without a dollar spent on promotion. Pure momentum. That’s unheard of for a debut artist—especially one with no prior public persona.
But this wasn’t luck. It was a strategy.
“I studied the game like a business. Because it is. But most artists chase virality—I built a system. I know how to execute. I’ve done it before.”
Now, with an entire album finished and ready for release, Nabi is looking for the right major label partner—not just for reach, but for alignment.
“I’m not looking for hype. I’m looking for legacy-scale impact. The right label will recognize this isn’t just an album—it’s the start of a global cultural brand.”
Business-Minded. Soul-Driven. Legacy-Focused.
Nabi isn’t just building a music career. He’s building an empire at the intersection of art, business, and legacy. That includes launching platforms for independent artists, developing tools that protect creative ownership, and incubating stories that too often go unheard.
And behind all of it is one name that matters more than any chart position: Rumi, his two-year-old son.
“Everything I do is for him. I want to build something so real, so powerful, that he never has to inherit struggle—only strength.”
The Bigger Picture
To some, Nabi Awada might look like a new artist on the rise. But the truth is, he’s already made it. What he’s doing now isn’t about making it out—it’s about building something that brings others in.
“I’m not here to fit in. I’m here to shift culture. I’m not knocking on the industry’s door—I’m building the next one.”
Nabi Awada represents the future of music: emotionally intelligent, globally minded, and rooted in ownership. He’s not playing to trends. He’s setting a new standard.
And the best part?
He’s just getting started.
