Dunya, the title of Mustafas masterfully crafted and breathtakingly tender full-length debut, roughly translates from
Arabic to the world in all its flaws. Its a lofty subject for a young songwriter, but as with every theme at the heart of the Sudanese-Canadian artists workfrom religious devotion to childhood trauma, gang violence to romantic intimacyhe
approaches it through a personal lens. Blending genres and moods, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folk
songs, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs, arriving one after the other.

The first thing that strikes you about Mustafas music has always been his writing: a simple, piercing tone that can make any
story feel as raw and earnest as the words to a love song. With a hushed delivery that can silence his surroundings, Mustafa
evolved swiftly from a child prodigy reciting poems throughout his native Toronto to a behind-the-songs pop songwriting force. On Dunya, he becomes a full-on auteur in his own right.

Im trying to preserve and celebrate the ordinary life in the hood, Mustafa notes of his lyrical inspiration. Exploring his
upbringing and trajectory onward, these songs are equally disarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotional
breadth. Featuring appearances from collaborators such as Aaron Dessner, Rosala, Clairo, Nicolas Jaar, and more, alongside
Mustafas longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann, the music reveals a confident, distinctive voice thats never sounded
more poised for the masses. Even when it sounds like hes taking on the world, Mustafa is speaking only for himself: a story
that he knows is just getting started.
