We recently connected with Hassan Dahik and have shared our conversation below.

Hassan, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

I’ve always considered myself a risk-taker, perhaps even a bit of a player. At the age of 22, I ventured into the unknown, leaving everything behind to pursue a dream in California. Armed with just my bass and guitar, I embarked on a journey in the heart of the gold rush state. While taking risks may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I wouldn’t trade the life-altering decision I made in 2015 for anything else.

That leap of faith led me to remarkable encounters and the establishment of a foundation that sustains my passion for music. It wasn’t an overnight success; building my path took time and dedication. I was fully committed to the risks I undertook, fully aware of the challenges that awaited me. Yet, it was precisely this commitment that opened doors and propelled me to heights I could only dream of.

From gracing stages in front of more than 20 thousand people to rubbing shoulders with music legends like Marco Antonio Solis at exclusive events, my journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. I understood that risks, though requiring calculated moves, held a special place in the process. There’s something profound about immersing oneself in opportunities, especially during youth, that shapes who we become.

Even now, as I navigate through a more seasoned phase of life, I continue to take risks – or as I like to say, play the game. These risks are more calculated, and grounded in experience and wisdom. However, I firmly believe that taking risks remains an essential component in achieving life goals. It’s an intrinsic part of the game, a game I’m still playing and loving every moment of.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Greetings to those discovering my journey for the first time! I’m a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and songwriter with a passion deeply rooted in music. My musical odyssey began at the age of 12 when I picked up the bass guitar, which has been my mainstay ever since. Venturing into guitar and vocals expanded my horizons, allowing me to delve into composition intricacies.

The bass guitar, acting as the pillar in my musical evolution, shaped my approach to chords and progressions, providing a unique and grounded perspective. Over the years, I’ve graced numerous stages, connecting with diverse artists and musicians. Sharing my musical creations through videos has resonated with followers, forming a network that I’ve nurtured through platforms like Twitch.

From intimate pub performances to grand arenas, I’ve embraced a spectrum of venues, forging connections with people from all walks of life. Time spent in studios collaborating with outstanding producers and artists has further enriched my musical journey. Currently, I’m immersed in the creation of new material, driven by the belief in the potential of each song to connect with a wider audience.

Beyond music, technology is a realm I’m passionate about. I foresee a creative renaissance through the fusion of technology and art. As a musician, I’ve actively engaged in software development, recognizing its potential to amplify artistic ideas.

Ecuador, my birthplace, holds a special significance in my artistic identity. Amidst its rich cultural tapestry, I draw inspiration for my music. Despite the challenges Ecuador faces, my goal is to spotlight its positive facets – its vibrant music, talented artists, and profound culture. Gratitude for my roots is a cornerstone of my identity; it shapes every note I play and every melody I compose.

In the face of adversity, I remain dedicated to representing the beauty and creativity that emanates from Ecuador. Some may suggest moving on, but I firmly believe that acknowledging and embracing my roots is integral to my authenticity. Every achievement is a testament to the influence of my origins, and I take pride in weaving the narrative of my journey, driven by the rich cultural heritage that defines me.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

In my perspective, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) represent a burgeoning frontier that will gain increased significance in the years ahead. We’re witnessing a shift where individuals can own digital assets exclusive to virtual environments, a trend already manifesting in the realm of video games with the purchase of skins and other virtual items.

While the current application is predominantly within video games, I foresee a broader expansion into various domains. Musicians and artists, in particular, stand to benefit from the opportunities presented by NFTs. The prospect of owning and trading unique digital creations introduces a new dimension to the artistic landscape, unlocking innovative ways for creators to monetize their work.

Acknowledging that we are still in the early stages of this phenomenon, it is crucial to grasp the intricacies of NFTs. As technology continues to advance, NFTs will likely play a pivotal role in reshaping how we perceive and interact with digital assets. Understanding this evolving landscape is key, as it opens doors to unprecedented possibilities for creators and consumers alike.

In essence, NFTs represent not just a current trend but a glimpse into the future of digital ownership and expression. Embracing this technology early on allows us to navigate the evolving landscape and harness its potential for the benefit of artists, musicians, and the wider creative community.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

At the core of my creative journey lies a profound goal – to actively contribute to the upcoming creative renaissance that I foresee in the years ahead. The rapid advancements in technology, as I’ve emphasized, provide an unprecedented opportunity to expand and amplify our artistic ideas to new heights.

Another integral aspect of my mission is to serve as a representative for my roots, aiming to elevate their name to the highest echelons. Through unwavering dedication and resilience, I am confident that I can achieve these aspirations. It’s a commitment to showcasing the richness of my cultural heritage and contributing to the global creative tapestry.

Furthermore, a significant goal on my horizon is to attain a Grammy, a symbol of recognition for the music that I’ve written or been a part of. This represents not just a personal milestone but a testament to the dedication and passion I invest in my craft. It’s an ambitious goal that I believe is within reach through persistent hard work and a steadfast commitment to artistic excellence.

In essence, my creative journey is propelled by a vision that encompasses technological innovation, cultural representation, and the pursuit of artistic accolades. Through these endeavors, I aspire to be a driving force in the creative landscape of the future.
