One of Eastern Europe's most popular performers, Inna earned an international reputation as an EDM diva, lending heat and personality to house-influenced dance tracks. Hailing from Romania, Inna scored a breakout hit in 2008 with "Hot," a tune that first became a chart success in Romania, then swept through Europe and in 2010 crossed over into America. She also proved to be simpatico with Latin artists, duetting with Daddy Yankee ("More Than Friends") and J Balvin ("Cola Song"), and she also worked with hip-hop stars such as Flo Rida ("Club Rocker") and Pitbull ("All the Things"). As Inna's career progressed, she explored a more pop-oriented sound on her 2017 album Nirvana, as well as Latin and Gypsy influences on 2019's Yo.

Yo, this is Symbolic Records — the first-ever record label to officially hit the scene in the Maldives. We started back in 2013, built from nothing but raw passion, hard work, and a dream to put Maldivian hip-hop on the map.

When we kicked off, hip-hop and rap were our core — and they still run deep in everything we do. But over the years, we’ve grown beyond that. We’ve evolved, opened up to other genres, and kept pushing original sounds while staying true to that real street energy that defines us.

From day one, we’ve been about original music and local talent. We don’t follow trends — we set them. Every beat, every bar, every track we drop is about representing who we are and where we come from.

Over the past 12 years, we’ve fought through every challenge to build something real — a foundation for a true music industry in the Maldives. By October 2025, we’ve released 11 albums, 3 EPs, over 60 singles, and produced 40+ music videos — each one a piece of our story.

Our current roster is stacked with talent: Pest, Bey, Edil, Maatu, Rydey, Limits, Toy, Zya, Panda, Naiden, Nallu, Haisham Naseer, and Ayya — backed by powerhouse producers Sanchu, Reaper, Demon, and Hpt.

We also got our inactive artists, who’ve all played a part in shaping what Symbolic is today: Ledow, Prhyme, Jahulu, Arey, Emp, Teddy, and Fatestep.

Our former artists — Tro, Zips, Shifu, and Bullet — were part of the grind at different stages. Not every story ends the same, but every chapter helped shape who we are today.

Most importantly, we carry the legacy of our fallen brother, rambustaninmymind (d. 24.03.2018) — his spirit still echoes in every track we make. Rest in power.

Symbolic Records has collaborated with a wide range of artists — from mainstream acts to street rappers and even traditional music groups — breaking barriers and bringing cultures together through music.

Symbolic ain’t just a label — it’s a movement. We live and breathe this culture, repping the grind, the art, and the identity.

In just 12 years, we’ve built a loyal army of fans — the Rathaa Kalhuge Lashkaru — thousands of real ones who’ve stood with us since day one. Together, we’ve built the largest organic following in the Maldives — no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just pure energy and love for the culture.

We’re Symbolic Records — born from the streets, built for the culture, and still just getting started.

Soppe (born July 11th 1985), is a Maldivian hip hop artist and songwriter with the desire to take the rap and hip hop genre in Maldives to a whole new level.

He entered in to the Maldivian music scene as a member of the first hip hop group in Maldives “Black Prison 8” in '05. The most notable song with the group was "Mee Ey Haalath" which they performed on "Help Pakistan" show and various other live events. After seven years together, Black Prison 8 disbanded and Soppe went solo in the midst of '11.

His first performance as a solo artist was with Mishy Athif on the "Voice of Maldives Finale" show in November '11. The song “Hiy Kudhi Kudhi” went viral all over the country and created a huge audience due to its unique theme & style.

His first video song, "Kia Dheme" was premiered in ’12 on the popular day time Friday talk-show, Heyyambo.

Soppe appeared on the official Autism Day song of '13, and went on to perform his next big hit, "Elhi Mi Kandumathi" alongside Mira Mohamed Majid on Tharinge Rey '13 with a guest appearance from the Maldivian music legend Mezzo Mohamed.
