Stryv, the production alias of songwriter and producer Hamid Bashir, has rapidly emerged as an exciting name in contemporary electronic music. Blending melodic house, Afrobeats and dance pop influences, Stryv has developed a polished sound capable of moving seamlessly between clubs, festivals and mainstream playlists. Best known for the global hit ‘Move’, his production credentials also extend to music involving major artists including Ty Dolla $ign, Jason Derulo, Michael Bublé and Ava Max. His growing reputation was recognised when Billboard selected him as its Dance Rookie of the Month in February 2025.
Born in Pakistan and raised in New York, Stryv developed an interest in music production as a teenager before moving to Los Angeles after college to pursue a professional career. Before becoming internationally recognised as an artist in his own right, he established an impressive catalogue of songwriting and production work. His credits have connected him with artists across pop, R&B and global music, giving him a versatile musical foundation that would eventually feed into the distinctive electronic sound of Stryv.
His breakthrough arrived with ‘Move’, created alongside Adam Port, Malachiii, Keinemusik and Orso. The track first generated major attention after appearing in Keinemusik sets before receiving its official release in June 2024. Combining an infectious vocal with warm melodic textures and Afro-influenced rhythms, ‘Move’ became an international success and reached the top ten in numerous countries. Its profile grew further when Camila Cabello appeared on a new version released in October 2024. Stryv continued this momentum in June 2025 with ‘Positions’, another collaboration with Adam Port and Malachiii that brought together rhythmic club production and accessible melodic hooks.
As a live artist and DJ, Stryv brings the globally minded character of his productions directly to the dancefloor. His appearances alongside Keinemusik helped introduce his music to international audiences, while his own touring schedule has taken his sound into clubs across Europe. With a catalogue that bridges underground electronic culture and crossover dance music, Stryv is particularly suited to festivals, luxury celebrations, exclusive parties, brand activations and high-profile corporate events seeking a contemporary DJ with genuine international momentum.
