The first female to be nominated for a Much Music Video Award (Rap), MASIA ONE constantly redefines the sound and cultural boundaries of hip hop music.
Born in Singapore, Masia moved to Canada where she developed as a graffiti artist, b-girl and MC. Her album PULAU reflected influences including the culture of South East Asia, heated dance hall tempos of Jamaica and the feel good vibe of California.
Her much anticipated new album features Masia’s remarkable flow over highly infectious dancehall, electro and dance rhythms. This Singapore-Canadian girl is about to become a household name for urban music internationally.
