Tobias Rahim
Danish singer and poet (born 1989)
Tobias Rahim Secilmis Hasling (born 10 November 1989), also known as Toby Tabu or Grande, is a Danish singer and poet. He has achieved seven number one songs on the Danish charts, earning several awards including Danish Soloist of the Year in 2022 from the Danish Music Awards. He has also released a collection of poetry and a nude photo of himself, the latter of which is believed to be Denmark's first non-fungible token when it sold in 2021.
Early life
Rahim was born in Aarhus, Denmark, to a Kurdish father and Danish mother. He was raised primarily by his mother, as his father was often absent with PTSD due to his own youth as a Kurdish freedom fighter. He has cited his upbringing as a large influence on his musical expression, notably his time living in the slums of Cali, Colombia.
Career

Rahim's music career began in 2012 when he, alongside Camilo Fernandez, formed the reggaeton duo of Camilo & Grande.

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108698051. VIAF identifies the subject as 6160789517702680008. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2022, 2021 and 2012.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
