WHAT IT IS: Raised in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto, and of Iraqi descent, 22-year-old Ali Gatie is already becoming a singular voice in the culture. In the two years since his first independent release, his cumulative streams have surpassed 1b with tracks like “Say to You,” “It’s You” and “Moonlight,” establishing Gatie as one of the most compelling new artists straddling the pop and R&B space. In 2019, he released his debut EP YOU and went platinum with breakout smash “It’s You,” which spent 13 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, while selling out his first six shows in less than 10 minutes. Cultivating an international following and drawing global media attention, Gatie is hitting 2020 with growing momentum.
