Dystinct

Available for 186 days

Dystinct became a huge star in Morocco in 2022 when his song Ghazali became the anthem of Morocco’s football team at the Qatar World Cup. Morocco had a brilliant tournament, becoming the first African and first Arab nation to reach the semi-finals, first beating Spain and then Portugal. Dystinct was born in Belgium, but kept close ties to Morocco. He has dual Belgian and Moroccan nationality. He also spent time in the Netherlands, and established himself in the Dutch music scene before reconnecting with his African roots. He now has over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and is on a mission to take Morocco’s music, language and culture to the world. His collaborations include Spider, a massive hit, with French/Congolese artist Gims, Como Tu, a collaboration with megastar J Balvin from Colombia, and Zaalima, a Hindi movie remix of his breakthrough hit Ghazali featuring Indian singer Shreya Ghoshal from India. He has three albums under his belt; the most recent Bababa World, dropped on June 13th.
