Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon flag icon
Ugbad Mustafa Yusuf Noor, known by the stage name Musti, is a Norwegian rapper and songwriter from Tøyen in Oslo. She first drew attention as a guest artist on Arif’s 2019 album Arif i Waanderland, and truly broke through with her debut album Qoyskayga in 2020 – a title that means “my family” in Somali. Before she even turned 20, she had won Spellemann Awards for Breakthrough of the Year and Hip Hop Album of the Year, as well as the Newcomer of the Year award at P3 Gull. Her follow-up album, Ugbad, came in 2022 and cemented her as one of Norway’s most exciting voices.

Her music is energetic and emotion-driven, with strong British rap influences and a distinct focus on personal storytelling. The lyrics reflect the experiences she grew up with – a childhood at the crossroads between Tøyen, Somaliland, and Milton Keynes. She addresses themes such as identity, belonging, and growing up in a Norwegian-Somali family, doing so in a way that resonates widely with both honesty and confidence. Rolling Stone describes her as an artist with “a sharp wit, wholesome lyrical messaging and a dexterous flow” – she blends grime with “soulful swag,” creating music that is both impactful and personal.

For those who haven’t heard Musti before, her music can be described as a captivating mix of rap and R&B, infused with elements of Somali music and atmospheric synths. She plays with space in both lyrics and sound – from dreamy piano openings to explosive, beat-driven bursts of emotion. Tracks like Atlas and Meg Selv showcase her ability to create an otherworldly atmosphere that suddenly breaks through with intense power. She has a way of weaving cultural heritage into modern hip hop that gives her music a unique depth and recognizability.

Musti is not just an artist – she is an important voice from Oslo’s east side, a living representative of Norwegian diversity, and a strong songwriter who brings something genuine and fresh to the hip hop scene. Audiences describe her concerts as emotional and authentic, and she has been hailed as one of the most exciting voices in Norwegian music in years.
