From an early age, Mashaan was captivated by the arts. Despite his family’s disapproval, he nurtured his artistic talents in private, dedicating countless hours to creating art, music, and literature. His academic performance suffered as a result, but his passion for creativity remained unwavering.

Mashaan developed a deep appreciation for music, literature, and art, meticulously crafting mixtapes of his favorite tracks from the radio, writing stories and poetry, and creating countless artworks. His unique interests and individuality often made it difficult for him to relate to his peers, driving him to seek solace in creativity.

At 18, driven by challenges at home and school, he left home to pursue a career in music, taking only his Walkman and CDs. Though eventually found and returned home, his commitment to creating music, art, and literature persisted, even through academic struggles in high school and college.

In 2018, Mashaan earned a BSc. in Computer Science, but his heart remained with his artistic pursuits. For him, creativity is freedom—a necessity akin to breathing. His ultimate goal is to achieve freedom and a better life through creativity, both for himself and for the world.
