Early life

Mascia was born in Montevideo on 25 November 1996 to a Uruguayan mother, María Paysée, and an Argentine father. He is of Italian decent and has three siblings, including professional footballer Juan Cruz Mascia.[1] He was raised in the Carrasco neighborhood and attended Stella Maris College and was part the school's rugby club, Old Christians Club.[2][3] He was the nephew-in-law of Gustavo Zerbino, survivor of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, who was married to his maternal aunt.[4]

Career

Playing career

Mascia began playing rugby at a young age, on his school team, Old Christians Club.[5] As a teenager he joined the Uruguay national under-20 rugby union team, playing as a winger.[6] With his country he became champion of the 2015 South American Junior Rugby Championship "A" and participated in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Trophy held in Zimbabwe.[7][8]

Music career

In 2013 he formed the cumbia pop band Toco Para Vos with some friends, adding his cousin María "Meri" Deal as lead vocalist.[9] The band, with Mascia as composer, guitarist and vocalist, released the singles "Hasta la luna", "Solo necesito" and "De vez en cuando", which quickly gained success.[10] In 2015 he signed with the Warner Music label,[11] achieved international success and toured in countries in the region such as Argentina and Chile.[12]

In October 2020, Mascia launched his solo career, with the release of "Piloto", an EP composed of six songs combining trap, R&B and acoustic pop.[13] In the following months he released the singles "Tu Chongo de Turno 2.0", "Donald", "Cofee" with Chule Von Wernich and "De ti pa mí".[14] In July 2021 he released his single "Peaky Blinder", along with the music video,[15] and later that year, "Quién Diría", with Argentine singer José Giménez Zapiola. In 2022 his album Estoy bien earned him a Graffiti Award nomination for Best Pop Album.[16]

On December 14, 2023, he released the single "Ya no me duele" featuring DJ Cele Arrabal.[17] In late May 2024, while still isolated in the Gran Hermano house, "Los mejores días," a three-song EP, was released.[18]
