Born in Buenos Aires in December 2000, Argentine musician Dillom (Dylan León Masa) grew up in the diverse borough of Once before moving to Colegiales with his family. After experiencing his parents' divorce at the age of eight, León Masa was caught between distinctly different environments; with his mother incarcerated and his father threatening to move him to the remote regions of Ushuaia and Misiones, he soon ended up living with the family of a close friend from school. After picking up the bass guitar at the age of nine, Dillom spent his teenage years learning to produce at Buenos Aires' 31 Studios, debuting early rap instrumentals like "Motorala" (2016) and "No Beef" (2017) online. His passion for the genre soon turned into raps of his own: in 2018 he released sparse banger "Drippin" and boom-bap-style "Keloke," before the more psychedelic trap of 2019's "Superglue" brought the rapper his first taste of the spotlight. He continued this trap-heavy direction through 2019 with the industrial "Draco" and "Casipegado" -- both of which landed on his debut EP, Drippin -- before securing a multi-million-fan audience with an appearance on Bizarrap's Music Sessions freestyle series.
In 2020, the rapper began testing the water: the Molok0 collaboration "Rapido" marked the rapper's first use of Auto-Tune, "1312" saw him join Pussy Riot for a metal-infused anthem, and "Dudade" used experimental trap production to become Dillom's biggest hit to date. These successes became the foundations for artistic development in 2021: Dillom defied expectations with disco-pop throwback "Sauce," developed the "Dudade" sound further on "OPA," and joined rising "Cumbia 420" pioneer L-Gante for his 100-million-stream hit "Tinty Nasty," which peaked at number 17 on the Argentinian Charts. December saw him reach a new artistic peak with his debut album, POST MORTEM, an 18-track dive into genres including bedroom pop, SoundCloud trap, cumbia, and singer/songwriter. ~ David Crone, Rovi
