In this portrait, musician and multimedia artist JASHIM shares their journey: one shaped by migration, hope, and innovation. Rooted in Montréal’s Latinx underground music scene, they explore the intersections of sound, identity, and technology, blending music, holograms, and collective memory.
Through their practice, JASHIM celebrates resilience, collaboration, and the strength of a thriving creative community.

Jashim is a non-binary Colombian artist redefining sound, identity, and technology from Montréal. Born in El Choko among Afro-Colombian and Indigenous communities, they channel deep roots into futuristic rhythms. After immigrating in 2004, Jashim rose through Ubisoft’s AAA game world before turning decks and dance floors into portals. A pioneer of Montréal’s underground Latinx scene, they debuted with Summer 19 and the EP Cuando aprendí a Hablar, merging reggaeton, memory, and cinematic storytelling. Blending immersive tech with rebellious beats, Jashim is building a new era of performance—where video game worlds pulse to the rhythm of liberation.
