Early Life
Peso Pluma was born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija on June 15, 1999, in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. Peso grew up in Guadalajara, and he learned to play the guitar when he was 15 by watching YouTube videos. He told "Billboard" magazine in 2023, "Ever since I was a kid, I would write down my emotions because it was like therapy for me. I used to have a diary and my friends would make fun of me — because that's considered 'girly' — but it worked for me. That's where I'd write how I was feeling, then I realized some stuff would rhyme. I kept practicing and became better with time."

In 2020, Peso released the live albums "Disco en Vivo" and "Disco en Vivo, Vol. 2" with his cousin Roberto "Tito" Laija Garcia (aka Tito Double P) on the independent record label El Cartel de los Ángeles.
