Rijan Nabaz – born March 3, 1990, in Aarhus, Denmark – is a Danish-Kurdish rapper better known by his stage name Node. His music is a blending of hip-hop, Middle Eastern pop, dancehall and R&B. Originally pursuing a career as a pop singer, Rijan Nabaz released his debut song “Ligeglad”, which wasn’t a huge commercial success. His next song, “Farvel” – which featured a guest appearance by rapper Gilli – was released a short time later and became a social media hit, earning over 500,000 views. His first significant hit was his 2016 single, “Zebah” (featuring Gilli), which climbed to Number 25 on the Danish Singles chart. His next single, “Pakker bar”, was even more successful, reaching Number 14 on the chart. Beginning in 2017, nearly every single Node released reached the Top 10 including 2017’s Number 2 hit “De Snakker” (featuring Stepz) and two Number 1s: “Oui” with Sivas and Gilli (2018) and “Super Mario” (2019). Node released his debut album, Cambiarme, in 2018 and followed it a year later with his sophomore album Samme vej (2019). In 2020, Node guested on Larry 44’s single “Nådig”. Larry 44 returned the favor by appearing on two of Node’s 2021 singles: “Lad det gå” and “Yellow”.
