Zahir is a Washington, D.C. born multi-hyphenate artist, director, and musician. Growing up playing piano, trumpet, and multiple percussion instruments, Zahir presented an early affinity for musicianship. He started his career as a visual director, directing commercials for Ray-Ban, his musical short film 'Unusual', and his first international campaign with LIDS and rapper IDK. Since, he has met and learned under major influences such as IDK, Faye Webster, Saba, and Baby Keem, among others - many of whom have since become active collaborators in his creative world. He crafted his debut single 'Unusual' (2023), featured on COLORS' Weekly Releases and labeled by EARTHGANG as "hard as f***!", with the accompanying visual co-signed by MAVI, monte booker, and others. His debut album 'What If the Blind Woman Saved Him' (2025) has accumulated over 2.3 million Spotify streams alone, earning recognition from Billboard and Black Enterprise. Now, Zahir returns with 'Happy Weight' - his sophomore album and first fully realized project. A sonic landscape of alternative rap, soft yacht rock, and heartbreak, Happy Weight sees many of his aforementioned mentors step into the creative world alongside him, marking his true arrival as a world-building, genre-blending recording artist. His first single is swiftly approaching in January 2027.
