Early Life
Peso Pluma was born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija on June 15, 1999, in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. Peso grew up in Guadalajara, and he learned to play the guitar when he was 15 by watching YouTube videos. He told “Billboard” magazine in 2023, “Ever since I was a kid, I would write down my emotions because it was like therapy for me. I used to have a diary and my friends would make fun of me — because that’s considered ‘girly’ — but it worked for me. That’s where I’d write how I was feeling, then I realized some stuff would rhyme. I kept practicing and became better with time.”
Career
In 2020, Peso released the live albums “Disco en Vivo” and “Disco en Vivo, Vol. 2” with his cousin Roberto “Tito” Laija Garcia (aka Tito Double P) on the independent record label El Cartel de los Ángeles.

In 2022, he released several successful non-album singles: “El Belicón” (with Raul Vega), “Siempre Pendientes” (with Luis R Conriquez), and “El Gavilán” (with Luis R Conriquez and Tony Aguirre). “El Belicón” reached #34 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and was certified 8× Platinum (Latin) in the U.S. and 3× Platinum in Mexico. “Siempre Pendientes” peaked at #9 on the Mexico Songs chart, #11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, and #27 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and went 5× Platinum (Latin) in the U.S. and 4× Platinum in Mexico. “El Gavilán” reached #15 on the Mexico Songs chart and #34 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, and it was certified Platinum (Latin) in the U.S.
