Career:
At the age of 17, Hasan Shabbir began experimenting with samples and loops, crafting a creative blend of music. Initially self-taught, his early work was heavily influenced by ambient pioneers such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, a stylistic inspiration evident in his calmness-centered artistic philosophy. Shabbir's 2024 releases further solidified this approach, characterized by meditative textures and minimalist arrangements. Notably, he composed much of his music in a home studio setup, often working from his bedroom rather than a professional recording environment.
In 2025, Hasan Shabbir underwent a notable stylistic departure from his ambient roots. On February 28, 2025 , he released Safar, an experimental indie pop track featuring Indian vocalist Yuvan Joshi. The collaboration marked a cross-border artistic collaboration and signaled Shabbir's exploration beyond his established ambient sound.
On Safar, Hasan Shabbir is credited as the primary artist, handling songwriting, lyrics, composition, production, and engineering, while Joshi contributed as the lead vocalist. The track, which explores themes of love, longing, and the desire for union, showcased Shabbir's versatility as a musician. Joshi's vocal performance was noted for adding emotional depth to the composition, earning the song positive reception.
